FUEL CELL TESTING SYSTEM

摘要

The electrical energy produced by a fuel cell under test is typically dumped in the form of heat energy radiated from a controllable variable load included in a conventional fuel cell testing system. This practice is wasteful since the electrical energy produced is not immediately employed to do useful work, stored for later use or sold to a power company after appropriate conversion. According to aspects of some embodiments of the present invention there is provided a fuel cell testing system having an energy conversion system that converts electrical energy produced by a fuel cell under test into another reliable form of energy that can be employed for some useful end, as opposed to simply dumping it as radiated heat energy.
