Hybrid Technologies for Power Generation addresses the topics related to hybrid technologies by coupling conventional thermal engines with novel technologies, including fuel cells, batteries, thermal storage and electrolysis, and reporting on the most recent advances concerning transport and stationary applications. Potential operating schemes of hybrid power generation systems are covered, highlighting possible combinations of technology and guideline selection according to the energy demands of end-users. Going beyond state-of-the-art technological developments for processes, devices and systems, this book discusses the environmental impact and existing hurdles of moving from a single device to new approaches for efficient energy generation, transfer, conversion, high-density storage and consumption.
By describing the practical viability of novel devices coupled to conventional thermal devices, this book has a decisive impact in energy system research, supporting those in the energy research and engineering communities.
Covers detailed thermodynamic requirements for multiple smart technologies included in hybrid systems (i.e., FC, electrolysers, supercapacitors, batteries, thermal storage, etc.) Features fundamental analysis and modeling to optimize the combination of smart technologies with traditional engines Details protocols for the analysis, operation and requirements of large-scale production

Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Stack: Design, Testing, and System Integration is a practical reference that provides a concise step-by-step guide to designing a PEM fuel cell stack. Taking an engineering approach, the book guides the reader through the theoretical and practical aspects of stack design, manufacture, and testing.The book addresses all the elements that make up a PEM fuel cell stack in the order in which they should be considered. The first two chapters discuss energy, its source and effect on global warming, before looking at the Hydrogen Economy, its benefits, production, and storage needs. The book then examines the fundamentals of fuel cells, including the thermodynamics and electrochemistry, before progressing onto the components, stack sizing, designing, conditions for use, and applications. Dr Barbera uses his many years of practical experience to provide calculations, analytical tools, and conceptual schema throughout to allow readers a practical guide to stack design.Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Stack is a valuable resource for anyone looking for a comprehensive guide to the design of PEM fuels cells and their application in the hydrogen economy but will be of particular value to students and early career professionals. The book will also be of interest to practicing fuel cell engineers, and researchers working in the wider areas of renewable energy looking to broaden their knowledge.
Examines every aspect of PEM Fuel Cells, from the key principles to design and how they fit within the hydrogen economyProvides practical examples as well as theoretical principles to ensure complete coverage in a wide range of scenariosOffers calculations, analytical tools, and schema throughout to allow readers a practical guide to stack design.
