Progress in PEM Fuel Cell Systems Development

  • Chapter
Hydrogen Energy System

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 295))

Abstract

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks, consisting of up to 60 cells having an active area of 780 cm2, have been designed, built, tested, and installed in fuel cell power systems for mobile and stationary applications. The differences between operational parameters in a single cell, stack of cells and fuel cell systems are discussed. The paper addresses the research, design, manufacturing and marketing issues pertinent to commercialization of PEM fuel cell technology.
