What is Fuel Cell Polarization Curve

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology for Stationary Applications
Is the most important feature to be analyzed to determine the overall performance, this feature being determinant in diagnosing, developing and improving certain aspects related to sizing and control both at the cell level and at the equipment level in the case of fuel cells, at the same time from this polarization curve results the character of irreversibility of certain forms of energy in the case of fuel cells.

Abstract
Science has shown that there are two sustainable alternatives to providing energy needs: renewable energy resources and fuel cells-hydrogen-based energy, which will play a complementary role in securing global energy resources. By promoting the use of hydrogen-based energy technologies, as clean energy technologies for stationary applications, at the level of local communities, industrial and commercial communities, research topics in this field will help the practical development of sustainable and clean energy systems. This chapter provides an overview of fuel cells highlighting aspects related to fuel cell short history, the main components and operating principles of fuel cells, the main constructive fuel cell types, and the main ways of powering stationary applications through the hydrogen fuel cell technologies.
