Glossary
- Balance of plant (BOP):
-
Auxiliary components that complement a power unit as a functional or operational unit.
- Electric vehicle (EV):
-
A vehicle that uses battery or any other onboard electrical power source to operate the vehicle.
- Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV):
-
A vehicle that uses both an auxiliary electrical power source such as fuel cell or battery along with an internal combustion engine (ICE) for propulsion.
- Fuel cell:
-
A device that uses fuel and oxidant in an electrochemical reaction to generate direct electricity.
- High-temperature PEM fuel cell (HT-PEMFC):
-
A PEM fuel cell that operates between 120 and 200 °C.
- Low-temperature PEM fuel cell (LT-PEMFC):
-
A PEM fuel cell that operates between 50 and 80 °C.
- Proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell:
-
A fuel cell that uses solid polymer as an electrolyte for proton conductivity when humidified. It operates between 60 °C and 80 °C. An example of a proton-exchange membrane is Nafion made by DuPont Company, Gore-Select-membrane by...
