The paper deals with reliability issues of a diesel-powered fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU). The unit combines an autothermal diesel reformer and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack. The focal point is mitigation approaches for increasing the reliability of the complete APU system. These include control strategies on the one side, and electronic hardware solutions on the other. The measures, guarantying safe, reliable, and long-life operation, were developed, implemented and experimentally validated on a 3-kW net electric power APU system targeted for truck on-board applications.
