Dynamic thermal model for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the transient phenomena in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. Large transient changes are expected for practical application such as transportation vehicles due to acceleration and deceleration. Simple models are...

description In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the transient phenomena in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system.

Simple models are usually unable to capture these transient dynamics. For control purposes, a fuel cell model must include the dynamics of flow and pressure in the anode and cathode channels and mass/heat transfer transients. The proposed model can predict the transient response of cell voltage, temperature of the cell, hydrogen/oxygen out flow rates and cathode and anode channel pressures under sudden change in load current.
