Polymer Fuel Cells in Underwater Platforms

Abstract:

The analysis of the available fuel cells technologies indicates that Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) currently offer the highest attainable efficiency. This technology has been especially useful for underwater applications, since the moment it reached the greatest mass and volumetric power density among all available types of fuel cells (i.e. respectively more than 700 W/kg and 1100 W/dm3) [1,. The article presents the results of the preliminary research steps, aimed at establishing the genuine power supplying system of an underwater platform, to verify the applicability of this technology to specific underwater conditions.
