What are the basic characteristics of fuel cells?
Whether the full load or part of the load can maintain high power generation efficiency; regardless of the size of the device can maintain high power generation efficiency; has a strong overload capacity.
The load response is fast and the running quality is high; the fuel cell can be changed from the lowest power to the rated power in a few seconds.
The installation site is flexible; fuel cell power plant area is small, the construction period is short, the power station can be assembled according to the needs of the battery stack, very convenient. Whether the fuel cell is a centralized power plant or a distributed power station, or as a cell, factory, large building independent power station is very appropriate.
Energy conversion efficiency is high; it directly to the fuel chemical energy into electricity, the middle without the combustion process, which is not limited by the Carnot cycle. Fuel cell system fuel - power conversion efficiency of 45% to 60%, while the thermal power and nuclear power efficiency of about 30% to 40%.
Fuel cell involves chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, materials science, power system and automatic control and other disciplines of the theory, with high power generation efficiency, less environmental pollution and so on.
