Integrated Hybrid (Fuel Cell/Capacitor/Battery) Powerpack And Related Advanced Portable Fuel Cell Systems

摘要

Small, lightweight portable electric power devices are in great demand for many military and civilian applications. Giner, Inc. combine its Proton-Exchange Membrane advanced electrochemical capacitor and fuel cell technologies with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery to develop a novel, long-lived, and safe Hybrid Power System (HPS) for portable electronic devices.We anticipate that HPS will fill a need in the growing market for portable consumer products and backup power supplies where extended operating times are critical. An alternative fuel cell technology, which has been developed at Giner, Inc. includes an advanced direct methanol fuel cell stack and system technology for a variety of applications in the 50- to 5-kW range.
