“…In this work, we propose a fault detection and isolation tool for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) for embedded application and robust to behavior changes due to power demand fluctuations and stack ageing. To that aim, a multiphysics and multiscale model [19,34] is used. An advantage is that the validity of the model can be extended to the whole life, by adjusting parameters depending on the stack ageing.…”

This study proposes a fault detection and isolation tool for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) operating in embedded applications. A model-based approach, taking partially into account degradation phenomena, is proposed in order to increase the robustness of the tool regarding transient operations and stack ageing. The considered faults are the abnormal operating conditions that can decrease the fuel cell lifetime. The fault detection approach is based on residual generation using both voltage and high frequency resistance measurements and thus combining the advantages of knowledge-based model and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) diagnosis approaches. To that end, a multi-physics fuel cell model has been used. This model computes not only the stack voltage but also the high frequency resistance in dynamic conditions. Additionally, the model is modified to take into account the ageing of the fuel cell. Validation is carried out on experimental characterizations during 1,000 h ageing. The results on a new fuel cell stack show a score of 91% for fault isolation. However, without any adaptation, this score drops dramatically as the stack ages. Finally, thanks to ageing modeling and to the proposed adaptation of the detection/isolation procedure, the diagnosis performance remains reliable during fuel cell stack ageing.

“…During the past several years, many PEM fuel cell models, from zero-dimensional to complex three-dimensional models, have been reported in the literature and some are also available commercially [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. In our work, a one-dimensional steady-state semi-analytical approach for simulating the PEM fuel cell system has been considered.…”

An innovative micro‐cogeneration system (m‐CHP) based on membrane reformer and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is developed within the FluidCELL project. The purity of the hydrogen separated by the membrane reformer can decrease over time, due to membrane/sealing degradation, therefore a methanator is adopted to prevent CO poisoning of the fuel cell. This paper investigates the optimal control strategies of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell at different hydrogen purities by using a detailed 1D model, including the CO poisoning on the anode Pt‐Ru catalyst, and calibrated against experimental data. Simulation results show that the system is able to work also with low‐purity hydrogen thanks to the effectiveness of the methanator, the resistance to CO poisoning of the Pt‐Ru anode catalyst, the small voltage drop due to inert gases accumulation in the anode recirculation loop: at 0.3 A cm−2 as current density, the stack efficiency is always above 60% even when the membranes selectivity drops to 5 102.
