Continuing Education Programme
on
FUEL CELLS
COURSE OBJECTIVE
Fuel cells,
rapidly developing energy conversion technology, offer
higher efficiencies and significantly lower emissions than
conventional technologies. Furthermore, the scope of modular
construction makes fuel cells more attractive for a wide
range of potential applications, including combined heat and
power (CHP), distributed power generation and transport. The
course is structured in such a way so that the industry
professionals, academicians as well as the students
interested in working in field of fuel cells and hydrogen
energy will be benefited. The main aim of this course is to
provide an overall view on hydrogen economy and basic
electrochemistry and thermodynamics of fuel cells. The
different types of fuel cells (PEFC, DMFC and SOFC) and the
modelling and testing of fuel cells will be also covered.
ABOUT IIT
BOMBAY & ESE
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is one of the
premier technological institutes in India with students and
faculty who are comparable with the best in the world. IIT
Bombay has several undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral
programmes in the engineering, basic sciences, humanities
and management and
has also initiated programmes in inter-disciplinary areas
like energy systems, environmental sciences, bio-medical
etc. The institute has a vibrant research culture and has
several linkages with Indian and international industries
and institutes.
Energy Systems
Engineering (ESE) is an inter-disciplinary programme with a
mission to develop sustainable energy systems and solutions
for the future. Apart from the post-graduate (M.Tech and Ph.D.) programmes, the ESE faculty have been actively
involved in organizing training programmes in the field of
energy efficiency,energy
conservation and renewable energy.ESE currently has
about 30 M.Tech’s and Ph.D graduating annually. The Energy
Systems Engineering group is poised to grow into a
Department of Energy Science and Engineering catering to the
training and research needs of the Indian energy sector and
contributing to international research in energy.
