July 11, 2024
A vehicle power system including a fuel cell auxiliary power unit for providing clean, efficient power to a vehicle. The system generally includes a fuel cell with a first DC output and a heat output, a pressure vessel adapted to contain and provide pressurized hydrogen to the fuel cell, an electrical storage unit with a DC input coupled to the first DC output of the fuel cell. The electrical storage unit also has a second DC output. An inverter is coupled to the second DC output of the electrical storage unit to receive power, the inverter having a first AC output. The system can provide heat, AC power, and DC power to the vehicle.
