A Review of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Cogeneration Waste Heat Recovery System Xin Yuan, Baodi Zhang, Zhentao Wang, Liang Chang

Abstract

Under the current urgent global demand for clean energy and energy security, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cogeneration systems have attracted much attention and research. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of fuel cell cogeneration systems, including the composition of the system, the thermal management technology, the composition of the waste heat recovery system, the control strategy, and the form of integration with other energy systems. Through an in-depth analysis of the system components and operation principles, the role and potential of fuel cell cogeneration systems in the energy transition can be better understood.
