The Design and Development of a PEMFC Testing System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered a promising energy generation device. Testing is critical for evaluating the performance and durability of PEMFC stacks. In this paper, a PEMFC testing system was designed and developed, which consisted of hydrogen fueling subsystem, air supplying subsystem, cooling subsystem, and control subsystem. The operation conditions were optimized through a series of experiments. Test was taken with a 47-cell PEMFC stack, and the system efficiency reached 44% when the stack output power was 4.2kW.
