A Novel Testing Method of Low Voltage Fuel Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

Expensive special equipments are often employed to evaluate the performance of low voltage battery, because of the loss voltage of test terminal and line. In the present paper, an economic method was proposed to evaluate fuel cell performance using the booster power supply and electronic load with remote sense. The testing method was deduced theoretically and applied to study the performance of the direct methanol fuel cell . According to the results, it was found that the method was economic applicable and feasible.
