Optimizing Fuel Cells in Energy Storage Technologies for Renewable Energy Sources
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
The prime objective of this work is to optimize the fuel cells to improve its utilization with continuous power generation. Fuel Cell will dominate among the energy storage devices shortly and it is the top technical challenge in the present scenario. The hydrogen gas is fed as an input to the anode and oxygen is supplied across the cathode of the fuel cell is in vogue. This work contributes to saving of hydrogen gas through recycling process of the fuel cell. The fuel cell incorporates steam reforming methods to separate hydrogen and carbon monoxide ions. Steam reforming process results with hydrogen in liquid form; however only gas form is essential for anode terminals of the fuel cell, hence using liquid to gas conversion process is essential. The process of converting hydrogen liquid to gas is obtained using cryogenic separation. This process includes recycling methods to generate electrical power without any loss of time. This proposed fuel cell reduces the hydrogen fuel requirement and this, in turn, improves the nation economy, and it can also be used in hybrid battery operated vehicles. This paper presents a current state-of-the-art in fuel cells which offers a clear vision of the latest research advances in energy storage technologies.
