2 FCH JU projects Fuel Cell based Auxiliary Power Units Joint Workshop Turin (Italy) June 25 th -26 th, 2014 Programme page 2 of 12

3 Aim This Joint Workshop brings together three FCH JU projects that are involved in research and demonstration in Fuel Cell based Auxiliary Power Units, to discuss topics of common interests. The first session (Wed. afternoon) is devoted to oral presentations. For each project, three presentations are scheduled. During the first one the coordinator will show the overall objectives and structure of each project (15 minutes) then two talks presenting to date key results will follow (20 minutes each). In the evening, there will be a Joint Workshop dinner for all participants, including APU exhibition. The second session (Thu. morning) is devoted to discussions around the three main topics listed here below. Concept: system architecture, technical solution, integration of FC in APU, etc. Specification: parameters for applications, start-up, power, auxiliaries, etc. Safety: control systems, integration in vehicles, etc. The participants will divide into three groups, one for each of the three topic, and an open discussion will be driven by the project coordinators. Specific questions and statements to be discussed will be provided to participants before the workshop. A final feedback session will identify the highlights for each topic. At the end of the workshop, key insights from the discussion sessions will be identified, recorded and subsequently disseminated amongst all participants, the FCH JU and the wider fuel cell and hydrogen community.

6 FCGEN Fuel-Cell Based On-board Power Generation Duration Start and end date: 1 November October 2014 Application area Transport and refuelling infrastructure Budget Total budget 10,338,414 FCH contribution 4,342,854 Partnership/consortium list Volvo Technology (coordinator), Powercell Sweden AB, Forschungszentrum Jülich GMBH, Institut Jozef Stefan, Centro Ricerche Fiat SCPA, Institut fuer Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH, Johnson Matthey PLC., Modelon AB Summary/main objectives of the project To develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept complete fuel cell based 3kW (net el.) auxiliary power unit in a real application, on-board a truck. Another objective is to further develop key components and subsystem technologies that have been advanced by the project partners in previous collaborations and move them closer towards commercially viable solutions. The quantitative targets for the auxiliary power unit to be developed in the FCGEN project are: System cost ( /kw) 1,000 Efficiency = 30% Weight (kg) = 125 Volume (L) = 300 Technical accomplishment/progress/results Design, manufacturing and successful testing of fuel processor subcomponents (ATR, WGS, PrOx). Definition of the electrical layout, communication requirement and mechanical constraints for the APU integration on-board the demonstration vehicle. BoP components have been identified and tested according to design specifications. Development of control system and complete electric hardware for the FCGEN APU. Hardware development includes FC-specific DC/DC power converter, complete electric APU design, power supply system for BoP components and on-going work on the APU control unit - ECU. Packing model for integration of the four main systems (fuel processor, BoP components, fuel cell and control/power components), In addition, Finite element analysis was performed to study the influence of the thermal and vibration effects on the system. Conclusions, major findings and perspectives For the time being, APU system integration has not started yet. However, all system components are tested and seem to meet the defined targets on component levels. Further RTD and demonstration activities after the FCGEN project will be needed. The FCGEN APU system, which is going to be tested under real operation conditions on-board a vehicle, contains several 1st gen. units and some BoP components that need further optimisation. During the FCGEN project time, two more cost effective 2nd gen. reactors will be developed. The project will not reach the defined size and cost targets completely, but will provide guidelines for further size and cost reduction at the end of the project. page 6 of 12
