수중용 연료전지 BOP 시스템 개념 연구

Abstract

Underwater fuel cell systems are used as a power source for underwater unmanned vehicles (UUV). Highly efficient and long-endurance underwater fuel cells are required for long-term missions, and as a result, the importance of fuel cell BOP is also increasing. However, the development of underwater fuel cells and BOP is challenging due to the unique underwater environment. Advanced underwater technologies, such as fuel/oxidant supply devices, humidifiers, and reaction water treatment devices, are required for such underwater fuel cells. In this study, a conceptual study of an underwater fuel cell BOP system was conducted . Components of an underwater fuel cell BOP system were selected and analyzed the considerations for underwater technologies each component.
