Sandia-led team designs feasible hydrogen fuel-cell coastal research vessel; implications for large hydrogen-fueled vessels

Green Car Congress

The fuel cells provide DC power, which must be conditioned, converted and inverted to provide bus DC and AC power, respectively. More buoyant than helium, hydrogen rises on its own and eventually escapes into outer space. Once completed, the vessel design was reviewed by DNV GL and the U.S. Coast Guard. —Gerd Petra Haugom.
