Record 3 2004-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermal Power Stations
  • Fuel Cells (Electr.)
CONT

A fuel-cell power plant generally consists of three major subsystems-a fuel processor, a fuel-cell power station, and a power conditioner. The fuel processor converts a conventional utility fuel to hydrogen gas; the fuel-cell power station electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen to water, while producing direct-current power; and the power conditioner converts direct-current power to alternating-current power.

Key term(s)
  • fuel cell powerplant
