3206/JN - Multi-Parameter Hydrogen Fuel Cell Test Station

Description

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield has established a flagship national Translation Energy Research Centre (TERC) - a multitechnology, integrated platform for research, development and innovation at pilot-scale, to understand and demonstrate green energy solutions for a secure, affordable and sustainable energy system. It is one of the largest and best-equipped research and development facilities in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, CCUS and combustion. We aim to procure a hydrogen fuel cell tests station. It will be used to investigate the impact of the operating conditions (i.e. the temperature, pressure, gas composition and humidity) on single fuel cell or small fuel cell stacks. It will be also used to investigate the effect of the new materials and/or designs on the fuel cell performance.

It is one of the largest and best-equipped research and development facilities in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, CCUS and combustion. The facility is equipped with a number of hydrogen generating and consuming pilot-scale facilities used to further innovative large scale research and green solutions. To complement this, we aim to procure a hydrogen fuel cell tests station. It will be used to investigate the impact of the operating conditions (i.e. the temperature, pressure, gas composition and humidity) on single fuel cell or small fuel cell stacks.
