4 Fuel Cell Definition an electrochemical energy conversion device To convert the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water, and in the process it produces electricity.

5 Principle of Operation

6 Fuel Cell History 1839: FIRST FUEL CELL (GROVE S GAS BATTERY ) Sir William Grove

7 Fuel Cell History 1889: IMPROVED FUEL CELL 1967: FIRST FUEL CELL VEHICLE Karl Kordesch rides his alkali fuel cell motorbike. 1959: THE ALKALI FUEL CELL 1965: alkali fuel cell Francis Thomas Bacon with his Alkali Fuel cell. A U.S. Army soldier operates a portable drill powered by a n alkali fuel cell.

8 Fuel Cell Advantages High energy conversion efficiency Modular design- scale able to many sizes from 1 kw to 10 s MWoffering a wide range of application Direct conversion avoids combustion process- allows for very low chemical and acoustical pollution(<60 dba) Fuel flexibility Cogeneration capability- using waste heat Rapid load response High reliability- fewer moving parts Low Maintenance
