Validation of a novel method for detecting and stabilizing malfunctioning areas in fuel cell stacks
(2014)
In this paper a setup for detecting malfunctioning areas of MEAs in fuel cell stacks is described. Malfunctioning areas generate electric cross currents inside bipolar plates. To exploit this we suggest bipolar plates consisting not of two but of three layers. The third one is a highly conducting layer and segmented such that the cross currents move along the segments to the surface of the stack where they can be measured by an inductive sensor. With this information a realistic model can be used to detect the malfunctioning area. Furthermore the third layer will prevent any current inhomogeneity of a malfunctioning cell to spread to neighbouring cells in the stack. In this work the results of measurements in a realistic cell setup will be compared with the results obtained in simulation studies with the same configuration. The basis for the comparison is the reliable characterisation of the electrical properties of the cell components and the implication of these results into the simulation model. The experimental studies will also show the limits in the maximum number of segments, which can be used for a reliable detection of cross currents.

Was ist Inspiration? Und wie entsteht der zündende Gedanke in den Köpfen von Kreativen, Forschern und Entwicklern? Diese Fragen beschäftigen die Menschheit seit dem Altertum.
Bereits vor etwa 3000 Jahren waren die wesentlichen Voraussetzungen für geistiges Schöpfungsvermögen bekannt. Doch dieses Wissen wird bald verdrängt, denn der geistig Schöpfende selbst hat großes Interesse an der Verschleierung der Wahrheit. So entspinnen sich im Laufe der Kulturgeschichte immer neue, meist politisch intendierte Geschichten rund um den Inspirationsprozess und um die Schöpferperson. Ein Ende dieser Verklärungen ist nicht absehbar. Aus diesem Grund widmet sich das vorliegende Buch den Irrwegen des Inspirationskonzepts sowie den ersten vier Musen, deren Namen für die tatsächlichen intrinsischen Vorgänge bei der Ideengenerierung stehen.
In co-operation with the German Aerospace Center, the Solar-Institut Jülich has been analyzing the different technologies that are available for methanol production from CO2 using solar energy. The aim of the project is to extract CO2 from industrial exhaust gases or directly from the atmosphere to recycle it by use of solar energy. Part of the study was the modeling and simulating of a methane reformer for the production of synthesis gas, which can be operated by solar or hybrid heat sources. The reformer has been simplified in such a way that the model is accurate and enables fast calculations. The developed pseudo-homogeneous one- dimensional model can be regarded as a kind of counter-current heat exchanger and is able to incorporate a steam reforming reaction as well as a dry reforming reaction.
