Product Specification
The Fuel Cell Power System Trainer is an advanced laboratory training platform developed to provide practical understanding of hydrogen fuel cell power generation and associated electrical power-conditioning technologies. The system is designed around a 100 W PEM fuel cell and enables students to investigate the complete process of converting hydrogen energy into usable electrical power. It is particularly suitable for Renewable Energy, Hydrogen Energy, Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Energy Engineering and Green Energy laboratories.
\The trainer enables students to study the characteristics and performance of the fuel cell while carrying out practical load estimation and electrical calculations. The PEM fuel cell is rated at 100 W with a nominal operating performance of approximately 14.4 V and 7.2 A. Hydrogen and oxygen serve as reactants, while the specified hydrogen purity is greater than 99.995% dry H₂. The fuel cell incorporates self-humidification and integrated air cooling to support practical laboratory operation.
An important part of the system is the 100 W DC-DC converter, which operates over an input voltage range of approximately 12 V and provides a 24 V output. The converter incorporates a boost-converter arrangement with an MPPT algorithm, enabling students to study maximum power extraction from the fuel cell. MOSFET/IGBT-based switching provides practical exposure to modern power-electronic conversion techniques, while the microcontroller-based control system helps demonstrate the role of electronic control in fuel cell energy management.
The trainer also enables detailed study of battery charging and charge-controller operation. Students can investigate PWM switching, charging behaviour, overload conditions and battery-protection functions. This provides practical understanding of how energy generated by a fuel cell can be conditioned, stored and managed for reliable utilization in electrical power systems.
The inverter section enables students to investigate different operating parameters and determine inverter efficiency under suitable experimental conditions. Digital and analog meters are provided for separate DC and AC voltage and current measurements, allowing important electrical parameters to be monitored throughout the experiments. A 150-ohm, 2 A resistive load is incorporated for controlled loading and performance studies.
Hydrogen is supplied through a 10-litre, 150-bar gas cylinder, providing the fuel source required for practical fuel cell operation. The system is supplied as an integrated educational setup with the fuel cell, hydrogen cylinder and power-generation trainer, making it suitable for comprehensive laboratory demonstrations and student experiments.
The trainer is constructed on a modular rack-type aluminium extruded metal cabinet with a clearly arranged front panel. Printed circuits and symbols help students identify different functional sections, while 4 mm heavy-duty patch cords and safety sockets provide convenient experimental connections. MCB-based short-circuit protection is incorporated to improve operational safety during repeated laboratory use.
With its combination of fuel cell generation, MPPT-based DC conversion, battery management, inverter studies and electrical measurements, the Fuel Cell Power System Trainer provides an effective platform for understanding complete hydrogen-based power systems. Micro Technologies supplies Fuel Cell Power Trainers and Renewable Energy Laboratory Equipment for engineering colleges, universities, technical institutes, research centres and vocational training facilities.
