Utilisation of thermograhy in the field of PEM fuel cells

The paper deals with utilisation of infrared thermography in the field of hydrogen fuel cells currently being implemented both in stationary and mobile applications. Completed thermovision measurements are used for evaluation of heating curves of particular type of fuel cells represented by the low-temperature cells with a proton exchange membrane (PEM). These cells form part of the experimental power system designed for research on storage of electric power gained from renewable energy sources with an unstable power supply. This system is operated in the Laboratory of fuel cells at VSB - TU Ostrava.
