Features: This book is one of the series "Renewable Energy Development and Application Technology." 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 of fuel cells/batteries or supercapacitors, and the powertrain of fuel cell vehicles, along with a full-process analysis from oil well to wheel. The book not only presents models, design, and processes of fuel cell systems but also selects some application examples to illustrate them, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of this type of fuel cell. The book features an innovative structure, accessible content, and strong practicality, making it suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and applied chemistry, as well as technicians and researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, energy, chemistry, and automotive.
