PowerCell Sweden AB has unveiled the PowerCellution Marine System 200, an industrialized high-power fuel cell module with low weight and a compact format, especially developed for the electrification of marine applications.

The module is built on several fuel cell systems integrated into a single unit. Each low temperature polymer Modules can be combined for higher electric power output. Source: PowerCell Sweden ABelectrolyte membrane module delivers 200 kW and can easily be connected in parallel to achieve power in the MW range. The design combines compact and lightweight metallic bipolar plates with durable and highly efficient membrane electrode assemblies. The reaction energy, which is not converted into electricity by the fuel cell is transferred to a liquid cooling media where it can be used for heating purposes potentially resulting in very high total efficiencies.

Developed in collaboration with customers and in dialogue with leading maritime classification societies, the module is fully classifiable in accordance with the marine standards and requirements of the International Maritime Organization. PowerCellution Marine System 200 is expected to help marine operators comply with increasingly stringent emission reduction targets.
