An Enhanced Fuel Cell Dynamic Model With Electrochemical Phenomena Parameterization As Test Bed For Control System Analysis, Victor M. Fontalvo, George J. Nelson, Humberto A. Gomez, Marco E. Sanjuan Mar 2019

An Enhanced Fuel Cell Dynamic Model With Electrochemical Phenomena Parameterization As Test Bed For Control System Analysis, Victor M. Fontalvo, George J. Nelson, Humberto A. Gomez, Marco E. Sanjuan

PRC-Affiliated Research

In this work, a model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is presented. A dynamic performance characterization is performed to assess the cell transient response to input variables. The model used in the simulation considers three different phenomena: mass transfer, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. The main sources of voltage loss are presented: activation, electrical resistance, and concentration. The model is constructed to avoid the use of fitted parameters, reducing the experimentation required for its validation. Hence, the electrochemical model is parameterized by physical variables, including material properties and geometrical characteristics. The model is demonstrated as a test-bed for PEMFC …
