  1. HICKAM AFB FUEL CELL VEHICLES AND HYDROGEN INFRASTRUCTURE Thomas L. Quinn Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies 531 Cooke Street, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-594-0100 tquinn@htdc.org www.htdc.org/hcatt Presented at 2006 Fuel Cell Seminar Honolulu, HI November 15, 2006

  2. Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies • Established by the High Technology Development Corporation (a Hawaii State Agency) in 1993 as Hawaii Electric Vehicle Demonstration Project. • One of seven regional consortia that participated in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Program and Department of Transportation Advanced Vehicle Technologies Program. • Began partnership with Air Force Advanced Power Technology Office (APTO), Robins AFB in 2001. • Brought in $31M in federal funding; $23M in private cost share.

  3. HCATT Objectives • Develop and demonstrate zero emission and low emission transportation technologies to meet military and commercial needs. • Establish infrastructure to support zero emission vehicle operations. • Create business opportunities to attract vehicle technology companies to State. • Facilitate growth of transportation technology industry in State. • Secure new funding sources to expand scope of operations in Hawaii.

  4. APTO Objective in Hawaii • Establish a National Demonstration Center at Hickam AFB to facilitate demonstration and validation of the latest fuel efficient and environmentally compliant technologies for use in Air Force ground vehicle fleets, support equipment, and Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR). • Current focus is on fuel cell vehicles and the supporting hydrogen infrastructure.

  5. Battery Dominant Fuel Cell Hybrid Bus • ElDorado National RE-29E • L/W/H: 30ft/96in/116in Wheel base: 160in • GVWR/Curb Weight: 29,000lb/22,240lb • Seats: 23; Base shuttle service • 120kW Enova Systems Electric Drive System • 140Ahr Hawker Advanced Lead Acid Battery • 20kW Hydrogenics Fuel Cell Power Module • Two Dynetek 5kg Hydrogen Storage Tanks (5000psi); total storage – 10kg

  6. Fuel Cell Dominant Hybrid Step Van • Workhorse Chassis P31842 • Utilimaster 16ft Walk-In Body • GVWR: 14,100lb Wheel base: 178in • On-Board Power Generation • 120kW Enova Systems Electric Drive System • 65kW Hydrogenics Fuel Cell Power Module • 42Ahr Hawker Advanced Lead Acid Battery • Two Dynetek 5kg Hydrogen Storage Tanks (5000psi); total storage – 10kg

  7. Fuel Cell Hybrid MB-4 Tow Tractor • Entwhistle MB-4 Aircraft Tow Vehicle • 14,000lb Drawbar Pull • Four Wheel Drive; Four Wheel Steer • Curb Weight 19,800 (stock configuration) • On-Board Power Generation • 65kW Hydrogenics Fuel Cell Power Module • 120kW Enova Systems Electric Drive System • Hawker Advanced Lead Acid Battery • Three Dynetek Hydrogen Storage Tanks (5000psi); total storage - 7kg

  8. Hydrogen Infrastructure Strategy • Develop lowest cost, highest value infrastructure with multiple options for maturation. • Fabricate modularized system, fully deployable by military or commercial transport. • Ensure hydrogen source flexible, fully scalable for low and high volume fill with no modifications. • Install complete refueling station at Hickam AFB - model for other air bases. • Establish minimum requirements for fire safety and emergency response training.

  9. H2 Production & Fueling Station • Modular, deployable hydrogen production and fueling station, designed and developed by HydraFLX Systems, composed of Packaged Operating moDules (PODs), which are crush proof-designed, DOT transportable, carbon steel packages for military or commercial transport. • Three primary PODs: • Hydrogen Fuel Processor (H2FP) using two Teledyne Energy Systems HMX 200 electrolyzers; production output 50 kg/day. • Hydrogen Pressure Management (H2PM) using HydraFLX compression system; JP8 powered; pressurizes H2 up to 5000psi. • Hydrogen Pressure Storage (H2PS) using 9 Dynetek composite tanks; stores H2 at 5000psi. • Two additional PODs provide Power Control and Water for electrolysis; MEP 9 Generator used for deployment.
