Distributed Energy Generation

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs) have been postulated as suitable systems for power generation in the fields of portable power sources, remote and micro-distributed energy generation, and auxiliary power units (APU). The main objective of the DURAMET project ((http://www.duramet.eu) is to develop cost-effective components for DMFCs with enhanced activity and stability in order to reduce stack costs and improve performance and durability. The project concerns with the development of DMFC components for application in auxiliary power units and portable systems.

Methanol Fuel Cells

Water management is a critical design issue for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, because the PEM must be maintained at the proper water content to remain ionically conducting without flooding the electrodes. Furthermore, portable PEM power systems should operate at water balance to minimize weight. This paper presents the basic design relationships that govern water balance in a PEM fuel cell. Specific calculations are presented based on data from hydrogen/air and direct methanol fuel cells currently under development for portable power systems. We will show how the water balance operating point depends on the cell operating parameters and show the sensitivity to off-design conditions.
