Fuel cell handbook

Book ·
OSTI ID:5616450
Developed with the support of grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Argonne National Laboratory, this work provides an examination of characteristics and concepts of fuel cell systems, an overview of development programs (including current work in Japan and Europe), practical system designs, fuel cell power plant applications and the current state of the art. Contents include: fuel cell operation, the pollution potential, visual esthetics, safety, maintenance and reliability. The authors discuss materials used in fuel cells, their multi-fuel ability, siting, flexibility and modularity as well as their economic benefits and potential markets. Wide-ranging analyses of the application of fuel cells in utility systems, in on-site integrated energy systems, and industrial cogeneration are included as well. Also presented are such vital subjects as the U.S. military and aerospace systems, and the enormous possibilities inherent in fuel cell-powered electric vehicles.
