Maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions when subjected to fast load changes requires good system control. Best results are typically achieved using model based control strategies. This paper elaborates a control oriented PEM fuel cel ...
Fuel cell systems integrate the fuel cell technology with fuel processing and post processing. A thermo-economic optimization method has been developed to systematically generate the most attractive configurations of the integrated system. In the developed ...
A model of a system including a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell and its fuel processing section has been developed. The goal was to investigate the process configurations to identify the optimal operating conditions and the optimal process structu ...
Polymer electrolyte and solid oxide are the two fuel cell types (PEFC, SOFC) under development in Switzerland. The very distinct operating temperatures of 80 °C (PEFC) and 800–950 °C (SOFC) impose fundamentally different requirements upon the nature of the ...
If fuel cell technology – with its inherent benefits of high efficiency and low emissions – is to be used in decentralised power sources, in mobile or transportation applications, the systems have to be able to adapt to fast load changes and varying operat ...
The paper describes a test set-up, based on the use of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), developed for the evaluation of the operational characteristics of an autonomous Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The considered APU includes a 4.8 kW commercial Proton Exc ...
The use of ammonia as a source of hydrogen for fuel cells has received little attention until now. Ammonia offers several advantages over hydrogen as a fuel and is produced commercially in massive quantities and as a biogas. This paper describes the result ...
Results concerning the coupling of the steam reforming and total oxidn. of methanol in a two-passage reactor are presented. A com. available copper-based catalyst is used for the steam reforming. For the total oxidn., a highly active cobalt oxide catalyst ...
Maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions when subjected to fast load changes requires good system control. In order to design such a controller, a simple PEFC system model describing all the important system dynamics and cross couplin ...
This paper presents the modeling strategy developed for the design of a planar solid oxide fuel cell repeat element. Design goal are to reach good performance (power density) and reliability (ie. limit risk of failure and degradation). This challenging pro ...
