Description
Fundamentals and Power Engineering of Electrochemical Energy Conversion Devices: Fuel Cells, Batteries, and Electrolyzers guides energy students and engineers through the essential principles and applications of modern electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. The book begins by introducing the types, components, and roles of electrochemical energy conversion devices in modern sustainable energy systems before breaking down their thermodynamic energy systems and chemical-to-electric energy conversion. Later chapters delve into energy management strategies, examining efficiency considerations and control and mitigation strategies for irreversible losses.
Physical design, materials, and performance degradation for system reliability, and finally analysis, simulation and test technologies are given close attention. Collating practical and technical foundations in one holistic resource, this book supports energy scientists to leverage opportunities in energy storage, transmission, and conversion using electrochemical devices in sustainable energy systems.
