Microbial fuel cell hybrid systems for wastewater treatment and bioenergy production: Synergistic effects, mechanisms and challenges

The reduction of shipboard airborne emissions has been receiving increased attention due to the desire to improve air quality and reduce the generation of greenhouse gases. The use of a fuel cell could represent an environmentally friendly way for a ship to generate in-port electrical power that would eliminate the need to operate diesel-driven generators or use shore power. This paper includes a brief description of the various types of fuel cells in use today, together with a review of the history of fuel cells in marine applications. In addition, the results of a feasibility study conducted to evaluate the use of a fuel-cell hybrid system to produce shipboard electrical power are presented.

Fuel Cell Hybrid

Fuel cell hybrid technology has the potential to significantly change our current energy infrastructure. Past studies have shown that the combination of fuel cells and turbines can produce power at remarkably high efficiencies with low levels of pollution. The work presented in this paper is an initial step to further development of a hybrid system model. The fuel cell model discussed is used to perform parametric studies to aid in the optimization of a hybrid system. This paper provides an overview of fuel cell hybrid systems and distributive generation. A fuel cell model is implemented in SIMULINK using basic balance equations. Key issues of modeling specifically high temperature fuel cells are discussed along with their transient response and how it may affect the performance of a distributive generation system.
