Perspectives of hydrogen propulsion and electromobility
KLEIN, Jan
This thesis deals with the issue of hydrogen propulsion and electromobility. Initially, hydrogen as a chemical element is explained. Thereafter its production, transport and storage are described, the direct principle of hydrogen combustion is discussed and examples of cars using hydrogen are given. Then the subject turns to fuel cells, where the principle of its function is explained, several types of fuel cells are outlined, and the design of a fuel cell car is presented. Next, electricity and its infrastructure are highlighted, and the functional principles of electric vehicle components are explained. Then the functions and specifications of charging points are described. At the end of the theoretical part, different types of plugins for EV charging used globally are presented. In the practical part, an analysis of the number of hydrogen fuel cell cars and EVs worldwide, Europe and the Czech Republic was performed. Furthermore, the infrastructure of both types of cars was mapped on an identical scale and a survey was carried out in the district of Czech Budweis to map hydrogen filling stations and charging points for electric vehicles.
