ANALYSIS OF FUEL CELL SYSTEMS FOR TRANSPORTATION

Three fuel cell technologies, phosphoric acid (PA), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA), and solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), were assessed specifically for vehicular power plant applications. These fuel cell systems seized for a small consumer vehicle were fueled by methanol to be processed on board the vehicle. The results of the assessments were used to calculate the perforance of a number of vehicles. Some results for a city bus and a small consumer vehicle are presented here.
