Recently, the news that companies are placing fuel cells in an overwhelming number has continued to spread, and capital’s enthusiasm for fuel cells continues to rise. And if the time back to a year ago, fuel cell practitioners may not dare to think this will be loved. In 2017, Battery China.com witnessed the dramatic changes in the fuel cell industry in this short span of one year. We are impressed with every detail of the fuel cell event.
On October 20, 2017, Wan Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, pointed out at the time of his visit to Yihuatong that the development of the hydrogen fuel automobile industry in China needs to form a “universal upheaval†industry trend. Throughout 2017, fuel cell research institutes were established one after another. Several R&D projects passed acceptance, and fuel cell standards gradually improved. A number of fuel cell vehicles passed the announcement, and many companies took down the fuel cell bill. Although the fuel cell has not been "overwhelming", it has formed an irresistible trend.
Fuel cell research institutes suddenly rise
In the past year, fuel cell research institutions sprang up like mushrooms. They used their advantages in resource integration to convert technology into products, and strengthened deep cooperation between upstream and downstream companies in the industrial chain to promote the industrialization of fuel cells. There will be great accomplishments.
In March 2017, the Beijing Hydrogen Fuel Cell Engine Engineering Technology Research Center was formally listed. The center's positioning is to create an engineering research achievement transformation platform and a third-party authoritative testing agency, etc. The main research direction is to improve the reliability of fuel cell engines. Sex and production consistency, reduce costs, improve engine life and so on.
In December 2017, the Sichuan Provincial Key Laboratory of Metal Fuel Cells, the first key laboratory for metal fuel cells in Sichuan Province, passed the expert review. The laboratory mainly focuses on the energy storage properties and discharge rules of metal fuel cells, the harmless treatment of waste aluminum, and the recycling of fuels.
Also in December 2017, the Zhengzhou Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Engineering Technology Research Center was approved for establishment. According to Battery China Network, this is the first professional R&D platform for fuel cells and hydrogen energy in China's bus industry. The research center will rely on Yutong's new energy technology to develop high-reliability, high-stability and high-environment-friendly fuel cell system integration and control technologies, and simultaneously develop high-security, high-storage-density hydrogen system integration and rapid hydrogenation technologies. Establish and improve the fuel cell test evaluation system.
In addition to the sudden emergence of research institutions, heavyweight scientific research projects started to start and passed acceptance. In 2017, the national 2017 new energy vehicle key project “R&D of fast dynamic response fuel cell engine for vehicles†was formally launched. The “12th Five Year Plan†national 863 project “Key technologies for reliability and durability of fuel cell backup power system Study "passed acceptance. In January 2018, the “Methanol Fuel Cell Series†project led by Dr. Sun Gongquan, a researcher of the Dalian Institute of Alcohol Fuel Cells and Composite Electric Energy Research Center, passed the inspection and acceptance. China has stepped up its technological research on fuel cells and the scientific research projects have been carried out in an orderly manner, which has provided strong support for the development of the fuel cell industry.
Fuel cell standards are improving
For standards, different organizations, documents, given the definition of different, but its importance is generally recognized. Liu Fei, chief representative of the ASTM International Standards Organization China Office, believes that the standard is a common "language" for business, and there is no standard to conclude a transaction. To achieve large-scale commercialization of fuel cells, it is necessary to first achieve standardization.
In 2017, China's fuel cell standards began to gradually improve. In December 2017, China's first group standard for hydrogen energy, “Fuel Fuel Hydrogen for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Vehicles†(T/CECA-G0015-2017), was officially released. The standard was developed by Tongji University and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The institute, the China Institute of Standardization, and other 11 institutions of production, research, and research jointly worked out. The introduction of this group standard has important guidance and normative significance for improving the quality of hydrogen used in fuel cells in China.
According to incomplete statistics of the battery China Network, as of the end of 2017, involving fuel cell stacks, fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen refueling stations and other standards, a total of more than 60 items, experts in battery standards revealed to the battery China Network, a number of fuel The battery-related standards are being developed and will make China's fuel cell standards further perfect.
The commercialization of fuel cells
In 2017, Battery China.com witnessed breakthroughs in the field of fuel cells and fuel cell vehicles. Although the pace is not large, it has been moving forward and never stopped.
On June 16, 2017, Wuzhou Dragon released the "F1 Future" series of hydrogen fuel cell road vehicles. The fuel cell road passenger car is an 8.5m hydrogen fuel cell road passenger vehicle jointly developed by Wuzhoulong Stock Co., Ltd., Xiongye Power Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Hi-Tech Energy Development Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Hutong Co., Ltd., using a 30kW hydrogen fuel cell stack (Hydrogen Inktron). + Lithium iron phosphate battery (power type) combination technology route, cruising up to 430km.
On September 20, 2017, the second-generation hydrogen fuel cell bus developed jointly by Hubei Yangzijiang Automobile and Wuhan Hydro-Yang Energy Co., Ltd. “Hydrogen†was released. Wuhan hydrogen fuel cell bus has taken a big step toward large-scale production.
On October 26, 2017, the world's first commercial hydrogen-fuel hybrid 100% low-floor modern tram developed by China National Automotive Industry Corporation Tangshan Corporation carried passengers and passengers in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. This is also the first commercial operation of hydrogen fuel cell trams globally, marking a major breakthrough for China in the field of new energy rail transit.
According to statistics, in the list of 12 new energy vehicles announced in 2017, a total of 22 models of fuel cell vehicles entered the catalog. Of all fuel cell suppliers selected, Yihuatong accounted for 11 models, accounting for as much as 50%; In addition, Guangdong Guohong has re-engineered fuel cell products such as energy technology and Xinyuan Power to enter the list of suppliers. On the whole, although the proportion of fuel cell models in all models is still negligible compared with pure electric models, this is a good start.
In 2017, with the support of the Global Environment Fund and the United Nations Development Program, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China organized and implemented the “Promote the Commercialization of Fuel Cell Vehicles in China†project to publicize the results of the tender for vehicle procurement in the third phase. Yutong hydrogen fuel cell bus was successfully won the bid and plans Demonstration operation in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. The project will effectively promote the promotion and application of fuel cell vehicles in China, thus stimulating the full commercialization of fuel cell vehicles in China.
In addition, in the fuel cell market in 2017, ZTE Corporation won an order for 1 billion U.S. dollars in fuel cells from India, and SAIC Chase has also won orders for 100 FCV80 light passengers.
Factors that affect the commercialization of fuel cells include regulations, policies, technologies, markets, and infrastructure. Chinese Academy of Engineering Yi Baolian believes that the fuel cell must be operated on a large scale. First of all, the fuel cell engine must achieve a safety structure and have a life span of 5,000 to 10,000 hours to meet the automotive requirements. Secondly, the price of the car is deducted from government subsidies. In addition, it should be close to lithium batteries or fuel vehicles; third, there must be adequate supply of cheap hydrogen fuel; and fourth, to be profitable, commercialization should be achieved without government subsidies.
Academician Yi Baolian believes that it will take three years or so for China to realize the large-scale commercial application of fuel cells. Fortunately, at present, China's fuel cell industry has hung long sails and began to advance to large-scale commercialization.

Absolute rotary Encoder measure actual position by generating unique digital codes or bits (instead of pulses) that represent the encoder`s actual position. Single turn absolute encoders output codes that are repeated every full revolution and do not output data to indicate how many revolutions have been made. Multi-turn absolute encoders output a unique code for each shaft position through every rotation, up to 4096 revolutions. Unlike incremental encoders, absolute encoders will retain correct position even if power fails without homing at startup.
