In the domain of numerical computation, Model Order Reduction approaches are more and more frequently applied in mechanics and have shown their efficiency in terms of reduction of computation time and memory storage requirements. One of these approaches, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), can be very efficient in solving linear problems but encounters limitations in the non-linear case. In this paper, the Discret Empirical Interpolation Method coupled with the POD method is presented. This is an interesting alternative to reduce large-scale systems deriving from the discretization of non-linear magnetostatic problems coupled with an external electrical circuit.

In this communication, the Preisach and Jiles‐Atherton models are studied to take hysteresis phenomenon into account in finite element analysis. First, the models and their identification procedure are briefly developed. Then, their implementation in the finite element code is presented. Finally, their performances are compared with an electromagnetic system made of soft magnetic composite. Current and iron losses are calculated and compared with the experimental results.

AbstractThis paper presents a 2-D real-time modeling approach for a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The proposed model covers multi-physical domains for both fluidic and electrochemical features, which considers in particular the flow field geometric form of fuel cell. The characteristics of reactant gas convection in the serpentine gas pipeline and diffusion phenomenon through the gas diffusion layer (GDL) are thoroughly considered in fluidic domain model. In addition, a three levels iterative solver is developed in order to accurately calculate the implicit spatial physical quantities distribution in electrochemical domain. Moreover, the proposed 2-D real-time modeling approach uses a numerical method to achieve a fast execution time, and can thus be further easily applied to any realtime control implementation or online diagnostic system. After experimental validation under different fuel cell operating conditions, an iterative Least Angle Regression (LAR) method is used to efficiently and accurately perform the global parameters sensitivity analysis based on Sobol definition. The online analysis results give an insight into the influences of modeling parameters on fuel cell performance.The effect of interactions between parameters' sensitivities is especially investigated, which can provide useful information for degradation understanding, parameters tuning, re-calibration of the parameters and online prognostic.Keywords: Proton exchange membrane fuel cell, flow field geometric form, global parameters sensitivity, effect of interactions.
