Fuel cell technology is developing at a rapid pace, thanks to the increasing awareness of the need for pollution-free power sources. Moreover, new developments in catalysts and improved reliability have made fuel cells viable candidates in a road range of applications, from small power stations, to cars, to laptop computers and mobile phones. Building on the success of the first edition, Fuel Cell Systems Explained presents a balanced introduction to this growing area.
Fully revised and updated, this second edition:
Provides an essential guide to the principles, design and application of fuel cell systems
Includes full and updated coverage of fuel processing and hydrogen generation and storage systems
Presents a full and clear explanation of the operation of all the major fuel cell types, and an introduction to possible future technology, such as biological fuel cells
Features a new chapter on the direct methanol fuel cell
Now includes examples of the modelling, design and engineering of real fuel cell systems
Offers a clear overview of fuel cell operation and thermodynamics
Provides coverage of the complete fuel cell system, including compressors, turbines, and the electrical and electronic sub-systems such as regulators, inverters, grid inter-ties, electric motors, and hybrid fuel cell/battery systems
