Theoretical considerations on the modelling of transport in a three-phase electrode and application to a proton conducting solid oxide electrolysis cell. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Elsevier, 2012, 37 (16) The paper presents a complete numerical model for the prediction of mass and charge transfer inside electrolysis cells and fuel cells working at high temperature and using cermets as electrodes. It also discusses some assumptions taken in fuel cells or electrolysis cells modelling.I think that the problems dealt in this paper are in perfect match with the topics covered by the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. Indeed many articles that were published in the journal served as a basis for this work.Meng Ni, from the University of Hong Kong, M.M Hussain, from the University of Waterloo and Anchasa Pramuanjaroenkija, from the University of Miami, would represent in my view relevant reviewers for this paper. As specialists in fuel cells and electrolysis cells modelling, they can rigorously evaluate the scientific content of this paper. Moreover, several assumptions they use for their models are discussed in the paper.I am fully available from the first of January to deal with the reports of the reviewers.I will be pleased to supply any further information should it be required.Yours sincerely, Mikael DumortierCover LetterDemonstration of continuity equations for mass and charge inside a cermet electrode *Manuscript Click here to view linked References Abstract

The increased integration of fuel cells with power electronics, critical loads, and control systems has prompted recent interest in accurate electrical terminal models of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Advancement in computing technologies, particularly parallel computation techniques and various real-time simulation tools have allowed the prototyping of novel apparatus to be investigated in a virtual system under a wide range of realistic conditions repeatedly, safely, and economically. This paper builds upon both advancements and provides a means of optimized model construction boosting computation speeds for a fuel cell model on a real-time simulator which can be used in a power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) application. Significant improvement in computation time has been achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed model developed on Opal RT's RT-Lab Matlab/Simulink based real-time engineering simulator is verified using experimental results from a Ballard Nexa fuel cell system.

“…5) can be augmented to account for different physical and chemical phenomena relevant to fuel cells such as electrochemistry, flow in porous media and multiphase flow. An excellent review on computational heat and mass transfer modelling for PEMFCs is found in the work by Siegel (Siegel, 2008).…”
