Fuel cell technology promises to revolutionize the automotive
industry, offering tremendous potential to increase efficiency and
reduce emissions for many types of vehicles.This course will provide
a detailed understanding of the processes, subsystems and vehicle
characteristics relating to fuel cell systems for automotive applications.
The course starts with the principles of fuel cells and electrochemical
conversion of hydrogen. Each of the supporting subsystems needed
for operation of the fuel cell stack is developed to determine the overall
fuel cell system efficiency. Vehicle system integration, performance
and fuel economy are then related to fuel cell system characteristics.
Attendees will receive the text “Fuel Cell Systems Explained,” written
by J. Larminie and A. Dicks.
