A Review on Graphical Methods for Modeling a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

Abstract

International audienceFuel cell systems represent a promising alternative energy converter. In the past years,researches have been conducted for their modeling, control, and diagnosis. The modelshould accurately reproduce the behavior without being too complex. Due to the highlymultiphysical interactions and coupling within the fuel cell, using a graphical representationfor developing this model seems well suited. This paper presents a review of recentliterature on graphical representation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC).Three main graphical representations are discussed: bond graph (BG), EMR, and equivalentelectrical circuit. Their fields of application will be shown as well

Identification of PEM Fuel cell system model for traction chain based on profile mission measurement

“…There are several approaches to propose the PEMFC stacks model using graphic way of power transfer in the system. In [13]- [15], PEMFC stack model is proposed based on bond graph methodology [16] which illustrates the energy exchange within overall system. Generally, the methodology of bond graph is applied to model the PEMFC stack in the following sections.…”

Robust Diagnosis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Using Bond Graph Methodlogy – Physical and Electrical Faults Detection and Isolation

“…This interest is reflected in the fact that natural systems are complex and non-stationary, while manufacturers seek greater safety and efficiency. The bond graph approach [3,16,20,27] proposed in this paper allows -through its energy and multi-physics structure -to use a single tool for modelling, structural analysis and generation of uncertain analytical redundancy relations ARRs.…”
