Accelerated Stress Testing of Fuel Cells for Maritime Applications

Umesh Andaluri

The long-term durability and cost are those challenges for the commercialization of a fuel cell which researchers have been trying to answer in different ways since many decades.
In this talk, I will provide an overview of a technique known as "accelerated stress testing (AST)" which is a specialized experimental protocol designed to accelerate the degradation of fuel cell components. I will introduce this topic by discussing first about the research problem in the maritime perspective and then the research question which I had formulated.
