摘要：

Siemens fuel cell activities concentrate on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and polymer-electrolyte-membrane fuel cell (PEM FC) development, and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) research. Commercial application has, to date, been achieved in the field of PEM FCs for air-independent propulsion. A specific development project is being conducted aimed at the verification of an innovative cell concept to match the competitive cost of PEM FCs. SOFC development aims at decentralized power and combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Following the success achieved in the 10-kW class, a first prototype system with a power rating of 100 kW is scheduled for the year 2001. Achieving a cost advantage over competitive technologies is to be seen as the driving force behind all efforts. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
