Specific Challenge:Fuel cell APUs can contribute not only additional electric power vehicles but also heat for cabin temperature control. Possible applications include hybrid and electric passenger cars, vans and trucks as well as other manned commercial off-road vehicles such as for municipal, airfield-, agricultural- (etc.) use. Later on, a carryover of these fuel cell systems to non-road applications such as airplanes, electric boats etc. can be easily achieved. Further, such systems could also be the basis for range extender concepts as explicitly addressed in the MAWP.
The main specific challenge to be tackled is also addressed in the techno-economic objective 1 of the MAWP of the FCH 2 JU: reduce the production cost of the fuel cell system to be used in an APU transport application, while increasing its lifetime to levels competitive with conventional technologies and also reducing weight and volume where space is at a premium.
Scope:The overall objective is to design, develop and test APU fuel cell systems against realistic specific requirements covering the main application field, i.e. on- and off-road vehicles. Requirements of other applica...

Scope:The overall objective is to design, develop and test APU fuel cell systems against realistic specific requirements covering the main application field, i.e. on- and off-road vehicles. Requirements of other applications have to be collected and considered as far as possible. The project should also address auxiliary subsystems optimization on the basis of automotive FC systems for road propulsion.
In more detail, the objective of this project is to develop low cost fuel cell APU systems for transport application by means of latest system and component level RTD methodologies and tools. Also all balance of plant components need to be addressed. After key component and system testing, the components and systems shall be further developed towards the target system for the surface transport APU application. Design-to-cost methodologies shall be applied to analyse cost and to identify cost reduction opportunities for further improvements of the respective components.
Project proposals should focus on development of APU systems which can be integrated in (already existing) vehicles. Consortia shall define and identify all external operating conditions which are specific to the particular application. All transport applications are eligible under this topic.
Projects are expected to cover the following top-level objectives:
Electric power output relevant for real life operations depending on the actual application. Significant improvement of the complete powertrain efficiency due to integration of a fuel cell APU Integration of fuel cell APUs into final application with the coupling to pre-existing electric (e.g. battery) systems in order to optimize the whole energy chain on board. Advanced hybrid operating strategies enabling elimination of idling or warm-up losses etc. Validation of the results in a prototype APU systems in applications under real world operating conditions including monitoring for operating feedback analysis for further developments Prototype testing in a relevant end user environment Proof of the safety of the FC system for embedded applications due the integration and system architecture with regards to safety needs
Expected Impact:Overall impacts of the results of the project have to be:
Tank-to-electricity efficiency of at least 35% Cost reduction of the APU system enabling a return of investment period of the APU system of below 2 years Lifetime to be compatible with the selected vehicle application Minimized fuel cell APU system packaging volume/weight to be compatible with the selected vehicle application All projects must produce validated evidence of lifetimes, cost targets, performance and efficiency throughout laboratory- and field tests.

La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

The consortium must be led by industry and include a fuel cell system manufacturer and cell/stack developer or manufacturer with an existing cell/stack design. It may include research institutes and material developers/producers and equipment manufacturers. Projects must include fuel cell APU end users such as system integrators and vehicle/system manufacturers.
The consortium has to prove the ability to make use of advanced methodologies for fuel cell APU development:
• Design to cost techniques, reliability and robustness analysis in order to provide the basis for later large scale industrialization.
• Detailed component level simulation for analysis and optimization based on full consideration of physical processes involved.
• Sub-system and system level simulation for component specification and assessment of overall system performance by means of multi-physics (co-)simulation.
• Utilization of automated-/hardware-in-the-loop-/accelerated testing methods
Indicative funding: The FCH 2 JU considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of EUR 3.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Number of projects: A maximum of 2 projects may be funded under this topic.
Expected duration: Up to 4 years... Other Information
