Modeling and Experimental Validation of a PEM Fuel Cell System

摘要

This work presents a detailed dynamic model and a model validation study using realrndata from a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Testing Unit (HFCTU). A parameter estimationrntechnique is employed for the determination of key model parameters and the validationrnof the overall system behavior is carried out by comparing experimental and simulationrnresults. Data illustrate the transient response of the system during load changes. Thernmodel is oriented towards process optimization and control and relies on mass balancesrnand electrochemical equations implemented in the gPROMS? software environment.
