Continuous depletion of crude oil supply and the gradual increase in oil prices have emphasized the need for a suitable alternative to our century-old oil-based economy. A clean and efficient power-supply device based on a renewable energy source is needed to address this issue. Among the different technological alternatives, fuel cell (FC) power generation becomes a more and more interesting and promising solution for both automotive industry and stationary power plants. However, many technological hurdles have still to be overcome prior to the development of industrial and competitive products in these fields.
The aim of this tutorial is to give an overview about the actual state-of-art on this topic, especially focusing on the automotive market. Topics that will be presented: historical background, FC technologies, FC systems and their requirements for the automotive market, lighthouse projects, difficulties for a mass market.
