India's National Chemical Laboratory Optimizes Fuel Cells via Modeling

能源

Ashish Lele, National Chemical Laboratory, India

尽管柴油发电机效率低下,且存在潜在的安全风险,但是印度的城乡居民仍然在依靠柴油发电机进行大范围分散式供电。为了解决这一难题,印度国家化学实验室(National Chemistry Laboratory)开始着手研究质子交换膜燃料电池(proton exchange membrane,简称 PEM),这种电池清洁、兼容性强,总转换效率超过 30%(实验室还在努力提高效率),因此成为了电力产业的具有前景的备选方案。研究人员正在使用多物理场建模与仿真来确定燃料电池特性的最优组合,从而最大限度地提高电池的能量转换效率和性能。
