Overview: This paper provides details about the fuel cells and its practical usage. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices which convert the energy of a chemical reaction directly into electricity and heat. Practical cells typically generate a voltage of around 0.7-0.8 volts and power outputs of a few tens or hundreds of watts. Cells are therefore assembled in modules known as stacks and connected electrically in both series and parallel to provide a larger voltage and output. The other major components of a fuel cell system are a fuel processor and a power conditioner, which for alternating current applications includes an inverter.
