Participants will explore key components including the fuel cell stack, membrane layers, hydrogen tanks, and associated EV systems. The course covers startup and shutdown procedures, with a focus on hydrogen purge safety and potential hazards from residual gas. Learners will examine power and energy flow, thermal management, electrical isolation, and system operating temperatures. Attention is given to the energy management strategies, common failure modes like catalyst degradation and pinhole leaks, and the role of sensors and actuators in ensuring safe, efficient operation. Safety considerations, such as hydrogen leak detection and high-flammability hazards, are addressed throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You\u2019ll Learn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify the major components of a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe how hydrogen fuel cells generate power and manage energy flow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand safe startup\/shutdown procedures, including hydrogen purging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recognize key safety features like leak sensors and electrical isolation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore cooling systems and thermal management strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify common failure modes like catalyst degradation and mechanical faults<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Modules Include<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction to FCEVs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chemistry of Fuel Cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fuel Cell Stack &amp; Subsystems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power &amp; Energy Flow Management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooling Systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensors &amp; Actuators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure Modes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hydrogen.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrogen-fuel-cell-02.jpg\" alt=\"Hydrogen Fuel Cell EV Diagram\" class=\"wp-image-237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrogen-fuel-cell-02.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrogen-fuel-cell-02-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrogen-fuel-cell-02-768x507.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrdogen-fuel-cell-01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrdogen-fuel-cell-01.jpg\" alt=\"Hydrogen Fuel Cell Diagram\" class=\"wp-image-235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrdogen-fuel-cell-01.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrdogen-fuel-cell-01-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/06\/hyrdogen-fuel-cell-01-768x507.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center callout-secondary\"><strong>For questions or enrollment support, contact:<\/strong><br><a href=\"mailto:workforcetraining@schoolcraft.edu\">workforcetraining@schoolcraft.edu<\/a><br>Schoolcraft College Workforce and Economic Development<br>18600 Haggerty Rd, Livonia, MI | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcraft.edu\/workforce\">schoolcraft.edu\/workforce<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powertrains Format: 100% Online | Total Hours: 6-hour online course\u00a0Platform: Blackboard Course Overview This course provides a comprehensive introduction to hydrogen fuel cell powertrains, using real-world examples such as the Toyota Mirai, Hyundai models, and commercial fleets.
