Features: This book is one of the series "Technology Series on Renewable Energy Development and Application." It first provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles, types, and applications of fuel cells, giving readers a clear understanding of fuel cells. Subsequently, it details major types of fuel cells, technical development prospects, fuel cell operation and thermodynamic performance, fuel processing, as well as hydrogen storage and production. It also provides a detailed discussion on fuel cell system components, such as compressors, turbines, motors, DC-DC converters, inverters, grid integration, hybrid systems (fuel cell/battery or ultracapacitor) and the powertrain of fuel cell vehicles, as well as a full-process analysis from the oil well to the wheel. The book not only presents models, designs, and processes of fuel cell systems but also selects several application examples to illustrate them, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of this type of fuel cell. The book features an innovative structure, easy-to-understand content, and strong practicality, making it suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and applied chemistry at universities, as well as for technicians and researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, energy, chemistry, and automotive.
