12.3 Dynamic Simulation of Integrated Fuel Cell Systems
The integrated fuel cell systems consist of a fuel cell and other power sys-
tems or fuel processing units to support the fuel cell. For example, a regenera-
tive solar PEMFC system serves as an energy storage and conversion device
using hydrogen as the energy medium and a solar light source as the primary
energy. High-temperature fuel cells (MCFC and SOFC) operate at temperatures
exceeding 950 K and produce a large amount of heat that can be either given
off as waste heat or harnessed for use in another system. For this reason, high-
temperature fuel cells are more apt to be ...
