SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING AND DISCHARGING HEAT IN A VEHICLE

摘要

In at least one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a hydrogen storage system and a heat storage system is provided. The hydrogen storage system is configured to store hydrogen and to deliver a first heated fluid stream to an electrical generation system that generates a second heated fluid stream and electrical energy in response to the first heated fluid stream. The heat storage system includes a phase change material. The heat storage system is in fluid communication with the electrical generation system to deliver heat from the second heated fluid stream to a fuel cell stack.
