Using electrical analogy to describe mass and charge transport in PEM fuel cell

An innovating application of PEM fuel cell: Current source controlled by hydrogen supply

“…Targeting an appropriate model for electrical engineering application, we have reformulated the equations and using electrical analogy, obtained the model that is presented briefly below. This model is explained in detail in [12], as well as the comparison and the equivalence validation between the two models [13].…”

PEM single fuel cell as a dedicated power source for high-inductive superconducting coils

“…It consists in two parts coupled to each other. Analog formulations of PDE (1) and (6), their implementations in Saber ® software, and computation of all overvoltages are described in more details in [4]. …”

“…The model details are given in [4]. Then, we demonstrate that this model is suitable to simulate the behaviour of a single PEMFC operating as a controlled current source by means of H2 flow rate.…”

PEFC Simulator and Real Time Monitoring System

“…In 5 a hybrid drive train simulation tool called LFM was applied to optimize a forklift system by considering system size, efficiency, and hydrogen consumption. References 6–9 are some examples of recent work from research side related to simulation tools based on fuel cells. The work presented in 7 shows the way to control the power supplied by every source in this kind of hybrid systems, particularly the fuel cell.…”

“…The work presented in 7 shows the way to control the power supplied by every source in this kind of hybrid systems, particularly the fuel cell. In 8 the fuel cell is controlled by the power conditioner connected to its output and in 9 an electrical model of the fuel cell is proposed. Most of these models can be implemented in simulation software tools used in engineering.…”
