BZM evo - a Fuel Cell Concept for Future Submarine Applications

摘要

The introduction of hydrogen as a fuel for energy storage has achieved a wide level of acceptance. Several applications within industrial, automotive and energy sectors are expecting huge growth. In the military sector, especially in the field of submarine power supply, the advantages provided by AIP installations allow conventional submarines to undertake longer missions than those typically associated with their traditional diesel-electric counterparts. As well as their underwater mission endurance, AIP also provides advantages such as reliability, air independence, low signature applicable to SSK, SSN and UUV applications.
