Purpose: Why are we interfacing the fuel cell to the Analog Model Power System? Alternative Energy Source Flexibility for the AMPS
Objective: To Interface the fuel cell to the AMPS Steps: Fuel Cell Operation Output regulation DC Inversion to AC 12V --> 208V (Line to Line) Synchronization
What is a Hydrogen Fuel Cell? Different Types Phosphoric Acid Proton exchange membrane (PEM) Solid Oxide (SOFC) Molten Carbonate (MCFC) Alkaline Proton exchange membrane (PEM) Low temperature Low Noise Zero Harmful Emissions (water and heat) Portable Capacity of up to 10KW
What is a Hydrogen Fuel Cell? Operation of a PEM fuel cell Chemical reaction similar to a battery Does not need to be “charged” as long as hydrogen is supplied INSERT DIAGRAM
