FUEL CELL-BASED MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240047717 titled 'FUEL CELL-BASED MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes a fuel cell-based multiple power supply system that can alternate between a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) depending on the required situations. The system also includes an energy storage system or a secondary battery, such as a supercapacitor, to address power deficiencies.
- The system can rapidly start up and provide fast response by using a PEMFC.
- The system can provide high power generation efficiency by using a SOFC.
- The system can remedy power deficiencies by utilizing an energy storage system or a secondary battery.
- The system allows for flexible adaptation to situations that are difficult to solve using a single fuel cell.
Potential Applications:
- Backup power systems for critical infrastructure, such as hospitals or data centers.
- Mobile power supply systems for electric vehicles or remote locations.
- Power supply systems for off-grid or remote areas.
Problems Solved:
- The system addresses the challenge of providing both rapid startup and fast response, as well as high power generation efficiency, which are characteristics of different types of fuel cells.
- The system solves power deficiencies by incorporating an energy storage system or a secondary battery, ensuring continuous power supply.
Benefits:
- Improved reliability and flexibility in power supply systems.
- Enhanced energy efficiency by utilizing different types of fuel cells based on the required situations.
- Increased adaptability to challenging power supply scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a fuel cell-based multiple power supply system, and more particularly a fuel cell-based multiple power supply system capable of alternately operating a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell that is rapidly started up and provides fast response and a solid oxide fuel cell that provides high power generation efficiency depending on required situations and remedying some power deficiency using an energy storage system or a secondary battery, such as a super capacitor, thereby flexibly dealing with a situation difficult to solve using a single fuel cell.
