In this configuration (Fig. 1), the fuel cell system is used as a back-up generator, when the batteries reach the minimum allowable charging level and the load exceeds the power produced by the PV generator.The advantages of this system are in general the same as for a photovoltaic–battery–diesel hybrid system with regard to the …
Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2] Fuel cells are different from most batteries …
