Fuel Cell Standards: Fuel Cell Acronyms and Definitions

Fuel Cell Standards Curriculum Description:

The Fuel Cell Standards curriculum is provided by the Northwest Engineering and Vehicle Exchange (NEVTEX) and developed by Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and Rio Hondo College (RHC). COCC and RHC worked together "to develop curriculum and training standards for technicians in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), electric vehicle (EV), and Fuel Cell (FC) vehicle systems." This curriculum was developed with the intention of addressing industry needs by partnering with industrial and educational representatives to obtain input and assistance to develop:

1. new approaches to prepare an advanced technologies workforce,
2. licensure procedures and policies to ensure the safety of technicians, their employers, and clients, and
3. collaboration between educational and industrial partners in the development of new standards and practices.

These standards fulfill an SAE Fuel Cell Systems Certification, which prepares students for interfacing with both high voltage electrical and high-pressure hydrogen systems. The Fuel Cell Standards are broken into seven topics. This section contains the acronyms and definitions list for all topics. The seven topics are available to view separately.
