Transients analisys in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: A critical review


Abstract:

When a proton exchange fuel cell operates it produces in addition to electrical energy, heat and water as sub products, which impact on the performance of the cell. This paper analyzes the issue of transients and proposes a model that describes the dynamic operation of the fuel cell. The model considers the transients produced by electrochemical reactions, by flow water and by heat transfer. Two-phase flow transients result in increased the parasitic power losses and thermal transients may result in flooding or dryout of the GDL and membrane, understanding transient behavior is critical for reliable and pbkp_redictable performance from the cell.
