潜艇质子交换膜燃料电池技术研究

Research on Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell for A Submarine

常规柴电潜艇因受传统推进技术的限制,已成为新形势下潜艇续航力、隐身性等的发展瓶颈。而融入创新技术的燃料电池AIP(FC/AIP)推进系统的出现,集众多优点,给常规潜艇的发展带来了一片曙光。文章综述并深入比较世界各国FC/AIP潜艇研究现状、性能特点及发展思想,指出质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)在潜艇上的应用最具吸引力。在分析PEMFC主要特点的基础上,提炼出PEMFC应用中所面临的关键技术,并提出应对策略,以达到扬长避短并充分发挥其优势的目标,为潜艇PEMFC/AIP推进系统的发展提供针对性的指导。

Because of traditional propulsion technology, development of conventional submarine encounters a bottleneck in endurance and stealth performance. A new propulsion system—FC/AIP integrated innovative technology brings a piece of dawn to conventional submarine. This article introduces current research status, features and development of FC/AIP submarine all around the world, and indicates that PEMFC is the most attractive application to AIP submarine, then extracts the key technologies in PEMFC application and proposes strategies to provide targeted guidance for the development of PEMFC/AIP propulsion system.
