Presentation

The benefits of using fuel cells to simplify the design, construction and operation of electric and hybrid vessels

This presentation will describe how the ability to install fuel cells late in the construction process benefits vessel designers and builders. Once installed, their redundancy allows performance to be maintained even in the result of unit failure and for the swap-out to be easily achieved. Along with the ease of servicing on board, this provides compelling reasons for their use in many marine electrification scenarios. A case study will demonstrate these benefits.
