Abstract :
The paper presents the experimental validation of a fuel cell powered autonomous under water vehicle (AUV). HELION, an AREVA renewable subsidiary, dedicated to both PEM fuel cell and electrolyze systems development, has designed a fuel cell system adapted for AUV energy supply, for integration on IFREMER survey AUV, called IDEF.
