EXERGY AND ECONOMIC ANALYSES OF POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE (PEM) FUEL CELL SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
📄 Project Abstract
One of the major problems facing commercialization of fuel cell systems, especially polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems is cost. Various researchers have reported different system configurations which perform differently in terms of energy utilization and cost. It is therefore important to determine the best system configuration in terms of both energy utilization and cost. In this work, exergy and economic analyses of five different PEM fuel cell system configurations were carried out in order to investigate the performance of the different systems. Thermolib software was used to simulate the operation of the systems in order to obtain data for the analysis. The return on investment (ROI) and payback period were used as measures of economic performance. The results indicated that the largest exergy loss occurs in the stack (over 90%) for all systems. This is due to the chemical exergy change that occurs as a result of the chemical change that takes place in the stack....
