  • Abstract
    A fuel cell propulsion system for a small ship is recommended. The paper reviews the ship´s current power system and its limitations. The paper describes why fuel cells are a better option for ship propulsion and describes how fuel cells could be integrated into the ship. A discussion of different high power fuel cell modules and power conditioning systems for fuel cells is also presented.
