The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers hydrogen fuel testing services to verify the reliability, safety, and efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells. While batteries currently dominate the energy storage market, industry experts have begun to express interest in hydrogen fuel cells as a potential alternative for certain battery-dominated applications. As fuel cells grow in popularity, companies will need trusted and accredited companies such as ATS to ensure their fuel cells meet performance criteria and comply with regulatory requirements. Fortunately, the ATS FoC has the staff, equipment, and credentials needed to make the fuel cell testing process a seamless experience for our clients.
What is a Hydrogen Fuel Cell?
A hydrogen fuel cell converts hydrogen’s chemical energy into electricity. It consists of three main components: an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The anode is where the electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen occurs, which generates an electrical current. The cathode is where the electrochemical reduction of oxygen occurs, and it’s where protons, electrons, and oxygen combine to create water. The electrolyte enables protons to travel from the anode to the cathode, preventing the direct mixing of hydrogen or oxygen, while enabling electrochemical reactions.
