A Dynamic Model with Material Properties for the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

An equivalent circuit model of the PEM fuel cell is built to study the voltage dynamic response during load change. A mathematical model is built to simulate the voltage response during load change. The simulation results fit the test results very well. Then the model is applied to predict the limiting operation condition of the fuel cell. The model also provides a reference to design PEM fuel cell control modes.
