Abstract

The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells are now becoming a primordial part in our green energy society. PEMFCs are pollution free and seen as a renewable resource. This specific fuel cell use hydrogen and air to produce electricity, heat and water. Constructing a PEMFC and testing different parameters such as fluid flow, pressure, temperature on the cell can prove very costly; hence, models and simulations are essential tools to optimize its performance and efficiency. The Mat Lab /Simulink R2022a platform is used to model the PEMFC in its steady and dynamic states. The mathematical equations such as the Nernst voltage loss, Activation loss, Concentration loss and Ohmic loss is described in the paper and is used to model the PEMFC. The equations are simplified and used on the Simulink modelling platform. The objective of this study is to create a robust model of a PEMFC to be able to vary different parameters associated with the cell to increase its efficiency. This is achieved by critical analysis of the equations governing PEMFC technology. The main outcome of this paper is to propose a model that can be used for further research. Further works could include plotting data in the Simulink model and study the behavior of the PEMFC under different parameters.
