Abstract |
This paper presents the design of a small proton
exchange membrane fuel cell stack to be used in
uninterruptible power supply systems for remote
telecommunication sites. A proof of concept design is
presented using a two-cell stack made from low-cost and
readily available materials. Flow plates used in the stack
were manufactured from copper-clad printed circuit board
(PCB) using standard PCB manufacturing techniques and
machines. This resulted in a significant cost saving and
reduction in production time. |
