In-situ Temperature and Humidity Measurement in PEM Fuel Cells with Off-the-shelf FBG

Abstract

We propose a cost efficient fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor for measuring temperature and humidity in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The multiparameter sensor works with two conventional FBG and achieves an RMSE better than 0.45°C and 4.8 %RH.
