Abstract

Aim of the study is development of the concept of a hybrid car with aluminum-hydrogen battery power, the assessment of its performance. The concept of a hybrid car powered by an aluminum-hydrogen electrochemical generator. Vehicle schematic diagrams, power supply layouts, estimation of the power supply were given. Different variants of power storage: battery, super capacitors. Conclusion about their application prospects for power peak flattering. Estimations demonstrate the competitiveness of the proposed diagrams as compared to conventional hybrid vehicles.

Keywords:

Battery, electrochemical generator, hybrid power plant, hydrogen energy, hydro-thermal oxidation, supercritical water oxidation,
