Simulation study for 3D dynamic characteristics of voltage losses in PEM fuel cell

Abstract

Fuel cells, providing an advanced alternative energy source, are devices that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Modeling of a fuel cell provides improvements to the design of the fuel cells as well as providing cheaper, better and more efficient fuel cells. Three basic voltage losses occur in the fuel cell: activation polarization, ohmic polarization and concentration polarization. In this study, simulation of voltage losses in PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells was performed by using Matlab@Simulink program. Polarization and power curves were obtained for different operating temperatures by considering these losses.
