Distributed cell stack modules and master control stabilize peak-load power while conserving water and reusing by-product heat.
Movable spreading elements tension planar fuel cell stack components through edge openings, improving flatness and assembly accuracy.
Alternating air and pressurized oxygen feed with cathode exhaust recirculation boosts fuel cell peak power without a larger stack.
A layered bipolar plate integrates coolant, reactant, and water paths to improve fuel cell humidity balance, cooling, and durability.
By switching between PEMFC and SOFC and buffering peaks with energy storage, this case balances fast startup with efficient power supply.
