ABSTRACT:
A comparative study of proton exchange membrane fuel cell with graphite and metal flow plate. A Hydrogen fuel cell is an electrochemical power generator that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, with water and heat as by products. Simply put, hydrogen fuel cells form energy that can be used to power anything from commercial vehicles to drones. To evaluate the better flow plate in terms of availability, cost, machining and performance for effective commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell to evaluate the performance deviation of hydrogen fuel cell with Graphite and Metal flow plates. Design and fabricate a hydrogen fuel cell (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) with convention serpentine flow field hydrogen and fuel cell activities are presented, focussing on key targets and progress. Recent results on the cost, durability, and performance of fuel cells are discussed, along with the status of hydrogen-related technologies and cross-cutting activities. DOE has deployed fuel cells in key early markets, including backup power and forklifts. Recent analyses show that fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are among the most promising options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum use. Preliminary analysis also indicates that the total cost of ownership of FCEVs will be comparable to other advanced vehicle and fuel option The aim of this report is conception of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology. A Hydrogen fuel cell is electrochemical power generator that combines hydrogen oxygen to produce electricity, with water and heat as by products. Simply put, hydrogen fuel cells form energy that can be used to power anything from commercial vehicles to drones.
