ABSTRACT:
A proton exchange membrane fuel cell power system for producing electrical power is described and which includes a plurality of discrete fuel cell modules having at least two membrane electrode diffusion assemblies, each of the membrane electrode diffusion assemblies having opposite anode and cathode sides; a pair of current collectors are individually disposed in juxtaposed ohmic electrical contact with opposite anode and cathode sides of each of the membrane electrode diffusion assemblies; and individual force application assemblies apply a given force to the pair current collectors and the individual membrane electrode diffusion assemblies. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell power system also includes an enclosure mounting a plurality of subracks which receive the discrete fuel cell modules. Additionally, a control system is disclosed which optimizes the performance parameters of the discrete proton exchange membrane fuel cell modules.
