Portable fuel cell applications
- Portable fuel cell applications
Portable fuel cell applications (or portable fuel cell power systems) are portable (Movable) fuel cell applications that are either used as micropower in consumer electronic devices to provide power or as portable power in emergency power systems for critical areas.
Codes and standards
"Portable fuel cell applications" is a classification in FC hydrogen codes and standards and fuel cell codes and standards [ [http://www.fuelcellstandards.com/portable.htm Portable & Micro Fuel Cell standards] ] . The other main standards are Stationary fuel cell applications and Fuel cell vehicle.
Applications
Emergency power system
Small portable emergency power systems are a type fuel cell system, which may include lighting, generators and other apparatus, to provide backup resources in a crisis or when regular systems fail.
