High Performance PEM Electrolyzer for Cost-effective Grid Balancing Applications (HPEM2GAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

The next generation water electrolysers must achieve better dynamic behaviour (rapid start-up, fast response, wider load and temperature ranges) to provide superior grid-balancing services and thus address the steep increase of intermittent renewables interfaced to the grid. The HPEM2GAS project will develop a low cost PEM electrolyser optimised for grid management through both stack and balance o ...

Knowledge to Enhance the Endurance of PEM fuel cells by Accelerated LIfetime Verification Experiments (KEEPEMALIVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Small scale stationary Combined Heat and Power (µ-CHP) generation is foreseen as a significant future market for fuel cells. Among the fuel cell types, the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology is by far dominating the small scale stationary demonstration and field trials (~90%). The PEMFC has advantages related to high electric efficiency and excellent load following properties. ...
