Air supply system transient model for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are considered one of the best potential alternative power sources. It has both high efficiency and high power density. The air supply system dictates the performance of the fuel cell. It is responsible for supplying the correct amount of mass flow rate whic...
