IEC 62282-4-600 Ed. 1.0 b:2022

This part of IEC 62282 covers the requirements for the performance test methods of fuel cell/battery hybrid systems intended to be used for electrically powered applications for excavators.

For this purpose, this document covers electrical performance and vibration tests for the fuel cell/battery hybrid system. This document also covers performance test methods which focus on vibration and other characteristics for balance of plant (BOP) installed in heavy-duty applications with fuel cell/battery hybrid system.

This document applies to both gaseous hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, liquid hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, direct methanol fuel cell power and battery hybrid power pack systems.

The following fuels are considered within the scope of this document:
- gaseous hydrogen, and
- methanol.

This document does not apply to reformer-equipped fuel cell power systems.

This document can be applied to fuel cell power systems used for either propulsion or for auxiliary power units (APU) purposes. In case of APU, the same hybrid power pack can be used on board or as a stationary APU. In case of the latter, this document can also be applied.

A block diagram of a fuel cell/battery hybrid system is shown in Figure 1. This document covers the configuration, mode of hybridization, operation mode for fuel cell and battery in power pack systems.
