Enhancing Energy Access in Rural Indonesia: A
This study addresses the critical issue of energy access in rural Indonesia by comprehensively assessing a 1 kW portable power
This research develops a portable 1 kW PEMFC system specifically designed to address the challenges of energy access in rural Indonesia.
Hydrogen Supply: Hydrogen gas (H 2) is supplied to the anode side of the fuel cell. Electrochemical Reaction: The PEMFC operates at low temperatures (typically 60-80°C). The proton exchange membrane allows only protons (H +) to pass through while blocking electrons. At the Anode: Hydrogen molecules are split into protons and electrons.
In the current design model, the thermal management system employs forced airflow, the exact mechanism for supplying air to the cathode side of the PEMFC. This design choice was carefully made based on several factors, primarily focusing on the power output of the PEMFC, which is approximately 1000 watts.
In a PEM fuel cell, the critical electrochemical reactions occur at the anode and cathode, separated by a polymer electrolyte membrane. The most common fuel for PEM fuel cells is hydrogen gas (H 2). The hydrogen molecules split through electrolysis into protons (H +) and electrons (e −).
