Applications of Fuel Cell Systems

Abstract

In our survey of the possible applications of fuel cells to the provision of power for various operations, one way of conveniently dividing up the field would be to consider the different categories of power output requirements. For example, high power for industrial applications, medium power for domestic installations, and low power for certain kinds of vehicle and for use in space. Now, these last two classifications overlap to some extent and consequently it is proposed to deal with types of application—for example, transport—rather than classify installations wholly in terms of power output.
