Noticing the rise in the electricity prices, worrying about the CO 2 emissions and global warming and not sure about living with nuclear power stations, makes everyone think from where energy will come in the coming years. What is needed is a zero-em... Read More about Investigation into modelling of a fuel cell stack system..

A guide to a range of electrical energy storage devices (ESDs), with an assessment of fuel cells. (2006)
Journal Article
ALI, D.M. 2006. A guide to a range of electrical energy storage devices (ESDs) with an assessment of fuel cells. Alexandria engineering journal, 45(3), pages 317-323.

It is always desirable to de-couple the generation and the use of electrical energy, for example, to power mobile devices, to provide remote energy power support, or to simply spread electricity demand evenly over the daily cycle. This is achieved by... Read More about A guide to a range of electrical energy storage devices (ESDs), with an assessment of fuel cells..
