“…Nevertheless, different ξ i values for PEMFCs, as listed in Table I, can be found in specialized literature. Additionally, a study of the influence of the ξ i parameters on the FC polarization curve's behavior is presented in [24]. This study demonstrated that small variations in the ξ i parameters generate large variations in the polarization curve.…”

This paper presents the parameter identification of an equivalent circuit-based proton exchange membrane fuel cell model. The model is represented by two electrical circuits, of which one reproduces the fuel cell's output voltage characteristic and the other one its thermal characteristic. The output voltage model includes activation, concentration, and ohmic losses, which describe the static properties, while the double layer charging effect, delays in fuel and oxygen supply, and other effects provide the model's dynamic properties. In addition, a novel thermal model of the studied Ballard's 1.2 kW Nexa fuel cell is proposed. The latter includes the thermal effects of the stack's fan which significantly improve the model's accuracy. The parameters of both, the electrical and thermal, equivalent circuits were estimated on the basis of experimental data by using an evolution strategy. The resulting parameters were validated by the measurement data obtained from the Nexa module. The comparison indicates a good agreement between the simulation and the experiment. In addition to simulations, the identified model is also suitable for usage in real-time fuel cell emulators. The emulator presented in this paper additionally proves the accuracy of the obtained model and the effectiveness of using an evolution strategy for identification of the fuel cell's parameters.

Recently fuel cell has been paid significant attention because of their several advantages namely higher efficiency and eco-friendly technology and finds applications in vehicles, various house hold applications, electronic devices, and to support the electricity grids. In this paper various fuel cell technologies, their working principle, and applications are presented. Also the mathematical modeling and Simulink model of Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and Solid Oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and their operating characteristics are presented in details. The effect of various parameters on PEMFC performance is also assessed under various operating conditions in detail. The results prove the validity of developed Matlab/Simulink models of FCs.

“…Based on low working temperature, compactness and safe operational modes, PEMFC is considered compared to various types of fuel cell. In PEMFC, the hydrogen and the oxygen are used as the reactants and the protons and electrons are separated from hydrogen [8][9]. The protons are transported to the cathode side where oxygen is present through the polymer and electrons are transported to the load for conduction outside the electrode.…”

This paper investigates the performance of Asymmetric Multilevel Inverter (AMLI) with reduced number of switches for fuel cell applications. The proposed topology generates fifteen-level output with improved spectral quality of the output. Moreover, a novel hybrid modulation strategy based on Variable Amplitude Phase Opposition Disposition (VAPOD) technique is implemented. The proposed topology is powered by PEM fuel cell source which is modeled in MATLAB. The performance parameters such as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Weighted THD (WTHD), Harmonic Spread Factor (HSF) and Distortion Factor (DF) are computed to verify the performance of the proposed topology. Circuit simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the results are verified.
