Abstract
This chapter contains three sections. The first section briefly describes the application of fuel-cell systems as stand-alone energy sources for powertrains or, in combination with a storage system, as fuel-cell hybrid powertrains. The second section introduces some thermodynamic and electrochemical models of fuel cells, as well as some fluid dynamic models of the complete fuel-cell system. The last section introduces the on-board production of hydrogen through fuel reforming and presents some system-level models of methanol reformers.
