    Case Study Task

    In a group of up to six students, please select one of the following tasks and write a report based on the
    selection and the design of the system and compare it to the existing technology.

    You are allowed to use either English or German as your language of choice.

    Your report should cover the following topics:


    • Short technical description of the system you selected and the state of the art for the traditional
    technologies.
    • Short literature survey on the selected system.
    • Selection of the point of operation based on a polarization curve from literature – please
    describe in detail why you chose this point and give your reasoning.
    • Evaluation of the stack-size needed for the operation point based on current densities.
    • Rough calculation of materials needed.
    • Efficiency of the system and the stack based on literature and what you learned in the lecture

    Task 1
    You are the operator of a large computer cluster. You want to have an Uninterruptible Power Supply
    based on natural gas to reduce your CO2 emissions compared to your current solution based on a diesel-
    engine. Your power requirements are 500 kW base load with almost no power peaks.

    Select a suitable system solution. Also compare the CO2 emissions with your selected solution to the
    diesel-engine with an efficiency of 35 %.

    Task 2
    You are in the process of designing a small camping truck. You want to have a solution for a power-
    supply during night time without connection to the grid. Your power requirements are 500 W base load
    with up to 1000 W peak load. Select a suitable system solution. You can freely choose the energy carrier.
    Explain why you selected the energy carrier.

    Task 3
    You are the operator of a small residential waste water treatment facility. To treat your waste water you
    want to use pure oxygen in the future. You need 5 kg of pure oxygen per hour. In your waste water
    treatment facility you also produce biogas that is used in a gas-engine. Select and design a system
    solution to produce enough oxygen at a pressure of up to 5 bar.

    Task 4
    You are to select a fuel cell for a smaller ship to transport goods on the danube river, because you have
    to use emission-free propulsion in 2030. You need a power output of 2 MW during cruise-time and a
    power output of 500 kW during the time in the port. Select a suitable system solution. Consider the
    energy storage and select a suitable energy storage solution.

    Task 5
    You have to select a fuel cell for an electric drive train for a 40 tons truck. Scale the hybridized system
    according to the power needs based on the traditional diesel engine. Select a suitable system solution
    based. Address the topics fuel cell, battery and storage for your selected fuel.

    Task 6
    You want to add hydrogen production to your chemical production site. You have renewable energy
    available in the form of wind and solar as well as a coal power plant on site. For your production you
    have up to 30 MW of electrical power available. Scale and design an electrochemical production method
    and compare it with respect to the GHG emissions to the state of the art.
