Fuel Cell
It refers to a generator that produces electricity and heat simultaneously by directly converting chemical energy into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen or fuel containing hydrogen and oxygen in the air.
A fuel cell cell is largely composed of a fuel electrode, an air electrode, and an electrolyte. Since the voltage of a single cell is very low, multiple cells must be connected in series to generate available voltage. A collection of such cells is called a ‘stack.’
A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack that produces electricity, electrical peripherals such as a control and power converter (E-BOP), and mechanical peripherals such as a fuel and air supply device (M-BOP) and a heat exchanger.

Fuel cells for ships
Hydrogen or fossil fuels are supplied to the fuel cell to generate electricity, and the electricity produced can be used to drive a motor for propulsion, and although it is not a propulsion source, it can also be used as an auxiliary power source on board.
If used for propulsion, the fuel cell electric propulsion ship is largely composed of a fuel storage system, a fuel cell system, an ESS, and an electric propulsion system.
