Abstract
RealHyFC gathers key actors of the whole PEMFC value chain to overcome crucial hurdles towards industrial empowerment on heavy-duty (HD) applications, mainly for land transport while expecting benefits for ships, trains or aircrafts. The technical issues precluding a rapid and wide adoption of PEMFC on HD applications are linked with reliability and versatility of the stacks. RealHyFC will bring knowledge and experimental feedback on two key levels: stack design and stack operation. Regarding stack design, carbon and metallic technologies will be investigated on efficiency and lifetime issues, local degradation and mechanical properties. Unpreceded direct comparison will be possible thanks to the adaption of an open-design made for metal to carbon-composite case, with developments on bipolar plates and balance of stack. RealHyFC will eventually deliver a public open-design platform with demonstrated high efficiency and durability under HD application conditions.
