Development of a 25 KW Hydrogen/Oxygen Fuel Cell system

Abstract (German)

To achieve a competitive component for a fuel cell (FC) driven powertrain for a passenger car the FC-system has to meet several goals, which shall be addressed in the BELENOS CLEAN POWER -Fuel Cell project. The degradation of the FC-system shall be reduced by optimal stack design and a specific operation strategy for a H2-O2 FC. The cost issue will be addressed by improving production processes of the components, integration of system components and the development of the concept of an industrial assembly process. Specific control-electronics enable the detailed monitoring of the cells and the stack for optimized driving.
