Technical and economical analysis of different types of fuel cell used for electrical energy generation

Nowadays development in different type energy generation methods is required depending on consuming resources and increased energy necessity. Fuel cells appear promising technology for this requirement. In order to analyse this situation first of all structures of the different fuel cell type are studied with components and the state of the art development of cell components.After that for all types of fuel cell performance is investigated with effects of temperature, pressure, catalyst, purity of fuel etc. Performance changes are expressed by mathematical method. Advantages and disadvantages of fuel cells are determined with obtained data. Considering this advantages and disadvantages of fuel cells application areas are determined and then barriers for commercialization are studied.
