INTEGRATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING A FUEL CELL COUPLED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

摘要

The disclosure relates to an integrated energy management system for managing thermal and electrical energy in a fuel cell coupled refrigeration system. In one example, a refrigeration cycle is driven by heat provided alternatively by a fuel cell and an electric heating device. In another example, a refrigeration cycle is driven by heat provided by a fuel cell to reduce consumption of electrical grid supplied power.
