Course Contents
Electricity from hydrogen. Working principle and performance. Ideal efficiency, cell energy equation, comparison with heat engines. Fuel cell groups: Hydroxy fuel cells, redox FC, hydrocarbon FC, ion exchange FC. FCs according to their electrolytic types: Proton exchange membrane (Proton exchange membrane, PEM), direct methanol FC, Alkali FC, Phosphoric acid FC, Molten carbonated FC, solid oxide FC and the similars. Electrical properties of FC. Output voltage (I-V) characteristic, polarization losses and actual efficiency. FC performance analysis and hydrogen consumption relations. Serial-parallel connection. FC systems: FC packages (stack), gas input and auxiliary control devices, electric power drives (converters). FC system planning. Hybrid systems. Hydrogen fuel cell applications and sample analysis. *Based on the educational principle of learning by doing and experiencing, realazing this course is planned in the laboratory environment class where theory, observation and experiment are combined.
