TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of unprotected start up and shut down on fuel cell performance degradation was investigated using both single cell and dual cell configurations, and it was found that the air/fuel boundary developed at the anode side after a fuel cell shut down or during its restart caused extremely quick degradation of the cathode.

24 Nov 1998TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method and apparatus for reliably protecting against island situations with one or multiple power sources connected to an electric distribution grid, which detects variations in the voltage and frequency of the grid.
Abstract: The invention in the simplest form is a method and apparatus for reliably protecting against island situations with one or multiple power sources connected to an electric distribution grid. The method and apparatus detects variations in the voltage and frequency of the grid. An observed change in grid voltage causes a change in output power that is sufficient to cause an even larger change in grid voltage when the utility AC power source is disconnected. An observed change in grid frequency causes a change in phase or reactive output power that is sufficient to cause an even larger change in grid frequency. If several shifts in voltage or frequency happen in the same direction, the response to the change is increased in an accelerating manner.

24 Sep 1999TL;DR: In this article, a fuel cell system with a hydrogen purification subsystem is described, which can concentrate hydrogen from the fuel exhaust for recirculation or storage and charge a hydrogen storage device for system use such as meeting transient fuel cell load increases.
Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell system with a hydrogen purification subsystem The hydrogen purification subsystem can concentrate hydrogen from the fuel exhaust for recirculation or storage The hydrogen purification subsystem can also concentrate hydrogen from a fuel supply for input into a fuel cell or for storage The hydrogen purification subsystem can also concentrate hydrogen for quantitative comparison with a second stream containing hydrogen The hydrogen purification subsystem can also charge a hydrogen storage device for system use such as meeting transient fuel cell load increases

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of open circuit voltage (OCV) on the performance and degradation of polybenzimidazole-phosphoric acid (PBI-H 3 PO 4 ) fuel cells operated at 180°C was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to obtain various resistances, ohmic as well as charge-transfer resistances of polybenzimidazole (PBI)-phosphoric acid (H3PO4) membrane fuel cells, in an effort to investigate the effect of temperature, anode humidity, various cathode stoichs, and use of oxygen versus air.
