While the main engines are not working, an aeroplane or other vehicle’s systems can be powered by a fuel cell-powered auxiliary power unit (APU).
Using fuel cells, it transforms chemical energy into electrical energy with the byproducts of heat and water. In order to power systems like air conditioning, lights, and avionics when in flight, the APU can be used both during ground activities like pre-flight inspections.
Due to their lower emissions and higher efficiency compared to conventional fossil fuel-powered APUs, fuel cell-powered APUs are gaining popularity. Also, they lessen noise pollution and give passengers a quieter environment within the aircraft.
