WHAT IS A FUEL CELL?WHAT IS A FUEL CELL?• Generates electricity by chemical reaction

• Two electrodes anode and cathode

• Every fuel cells also has an electrolyte

• Hydrogen is the basic fuel, it also require oxygen

• Making power more efficiently and with less pollution

• Water is the only by product

PRODUCTIONPRODUCTION

Hydrogen can be produced from

• Fossil Fuels (currently 90% of 42 tons/year)

• Water

6/02/2014 DEPT.EEE.SIST 14

OTHER TYPES OF FUEL OTHER TYPES OF FUEL CELLSCELLS•Alkaline fuel cell (AFC)

•Phosphoric-acid fuel cell (PAFC)

•Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)

•Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC)

ATTRACTIONSATTRACTIONS• High energy conversion efficiency

• Modular design

• Very low chemical and acoustical pollution

• Fuel flexibility

• Cogeneration capability

• Rapid load response

6/02/2014 DEPT.EEE.SIST 19

HH22-O-O22 FC EFFICIENCY FC EFFICIENCY• 40% efficiency converting methanol to hydrogen in reformer

• 80% of hydrogen energy content converted to electrical energy

• 80% efficiency for inverter/motor

• Converts electrical to mechanical energy

• Overall efficiency of 24-32%

6/02/2014 DEPT.EEE.SIST 20

PROS & CONSPROS & CONS Advantages• Water is the only discharge (pure H2)• No conventional energy sources needed.• Low heat transmission. • Cost effective method to produce electricity.

Disadvantages• CO2 discharged with methanol reform.• Little more efficient than alternatives• Technology currently expensive.
