Participants of the Annex Meeting of 16 May 2017

The meeting on Annex 31 was held on 16 May in the rooms of the Institute of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technology. Hideo Inoue, Alexander Dyck and Werner Lehnert gave technical presentations on the research activities at their respective facilities.

Start-up und Shutdown of PEFCs

Most common low temperature (T<0 °C) start-up and shutdown strategies for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (according to literature study).

Specific resistance towards proton conduction of Pt based fuel cell components

Specific resistance towards proton conduction at various degrees of relative humidity of Pt based catalysts (Pt/C and PtCu/C) and the corresponding membrane materials.

Austrian Activities Worldwide

Visualisation of Austrian cooperations in context of TCP tasks and annexes. Available in german language at https://nachhaltigwirtschaften.at/de/iea/visualisierungen/weltweite-kooperationen.php

Graph Datastructure

Graphbased datastructure of the open access IEA-TCP dataset.

Visualisation of TCPs

After selecting a topic (in this example "Electricity transmission and distribution" was selected), this graph shows all tasks (activities) focussing on the selected topic. The topics are structured according to the IEA energy RD&D budget/expenditure statistics. Additionally, you can see the related Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs). Activities which had been ongoing in Summer 2020 from all IEA-TCPs are covered in this analysis. You can re-arrange the different bubbles to better meet the needs of your analysis. If a TCP consists of more than one task (activity), it also contains one entry in the database labelled “ExCo-Activities”.

Methods

Set of methods to classify the type of activity of TCP Tasks and Annexes.

Analysis comparing different drive options and the break-even point of TCO costs.

The general trend shows that FC propulsion is competitive with FCEV and BEV in terms of TCO costs in all vehicle categories from 2030. From 2040, similar TCO costs are expected for both FCEV and BEV in all vehicle categories.

Technology Readiness Level, TRL, of various mobile applications of fuel cell systems.

In the aerospace sector, industrial trucks, cars and buses, TRLs of between 7.5 and 9 can be achieved. Light commercial vehicles, two-wheelers and trains achieve a TRL between 6.5 and 7, and aviation and shipping a TRL of 5.5.

Comparison of component manufacturing costs for fuel cells currently and in the future

The cost analysis is based on sales of 100,000 Fuel Cell systems per year. With current technologies, up to $73/kW can be achieved, with future technologies up to $60/kW in 2030. The greatest reduction potential of minus 33% is in the Fuel Cell stack.

Comparison of battery-electric/hydrogen-based propulsion for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

The reduced loading capacity of BEVs due to the high battery weight leads to a doubling of traffic for the same load to be transported. This results in higher energy consumption overall, despite the higher efficiency of the BEV single vehicle.

Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities

A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.

IEA-Topics, Related Activities and Working Parties

IEA-topics on level 1 (orange, node size corresponds to the official RD&D budget 2015) and TCP-activities (non-orange nodes) and related TCP-working parties (see color code in legend).

Participation of countries in IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes and Related Research Topics

Absolute (upper chart) and relative (lower chart) number of TCP-activities that countries are participating in. The color code shows how the assigned activities are related to the IEA-Topics and how the countries set their priorities with regard to the research topics (based on the IEA RD&D taxonomy).
