Review of Hydrogen Fuel Cell as an emergent field in Green Technology

Sustainable electrical systems emphasize energy conservation and environmental protection. One of the ways to achieve this is by using an efficient fuel cell system. Designing a fuel cell should start with a set of objectives. In this literature, a review of fuel cells has been done from a broad perspective. One of the objectives to design a fuel cell lies with the basic working mechanism and voltage-current characteristics. It is followed by understanding the architectural configurations to prepare a stack system. In order to develop a hybrid model, various control strategies must be adopted. Crisp modeling is also required to simulate the system in an artificial environment, which aids in improving the operating parameters of the model. Basic modeling parameters are reviewed in this paper. This can further be elaborated on to complex systems. Few major applications in predominant sectors are also briefed.
