- Abstract
Fuel cell systems generate a large amount of heat, so they are considered as an important candidate for CHP systems. However, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) operate in a relatively lower temperature and less pressure compared to those of other fuel cells, and they are not usually considered as a choice for CHP plants. The present research studies the idea of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), combining it with PEMFC for different working fluids and thermodynamically investigates the effect of combining PEMFC with Thermal Energy Conversion (TEC) system. A combination of PEMFC and TEC systems (PTEC) leads to a remarkable increase in efficiency of PEMFC.
