Analysis of Effect and Characteristic of Fuel Cell Generation connected to Traction Power Supply System

초록

The fuel cell generation system converts fuel source to electricity in an electro chemical process. The process of fuel cell generation is different from conventional turbine engines. It can generate the electricity without burning the fuel and running pistons or shaft, and does not have revolutionary machine, so have fewer efficiency losses, low emissions and no noisy moving parts. Traction power supply system has a lot of power quality problems because of moving and concentrated load as train. Fluctuated voltage and current in this system can be compensated by fuel cell generation connection, because a high power density allows fuel cells to be relatively compact source of electric power, beneficial in application with space constraints.
