This document applies to Fuel cell power system installed onboard rolling stock for railway applications.
This document applies to any rolling stock types (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways, streetcars, metros, commuter trains, regional trains, high speed trains, locomotives, etc.).
Fuel cell power systems described in this document are used for the traction power and the auxiliaries supply of railway vehicles such as hybrid vehicles as defined in IEC 62864-1:2016, and in case of use as an auxiliary onboard power source.
This document applies to the fuel cell technology called PEMFC: Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, with the use of hydrogen as fuel source and the use of air or oxygen as oxidant source.
Hydrogen storage system is described in the part 2 of this document and is not considered as a part of the fuel cell power system.
Power conversion equipments called FCCH (chopper for fuel cells), described in the IEC 62864-1 are not considered as part of the fuel cell power system.
