| Popis: | This work presents a zero-dimensional PEM fuel cell UI-characteristic model created in MATLAB Simulink® for operation with dry or humidified air supply. It is parameterised and validated based on the results of stack operation by varying stack temperature (50–80 °C), gas pressure (1.0–2.4 bar) and air humidification (0.0–1.0). The model is based on physical and electrochemical correlations and expanded by empirically assumptions concerning the influence of the humidification and limiting current density on the performance. The UI-model is intended to be integrated into a comprehensive zero-emission powertrain model. Since non-humidified operation of PEM fuel cell systems provides benefits for mobile applications by reducing space demand and system complexity, the objective of the model is to relate performance to the operating conditions and underlying physical parameters. Results confirm the feasibility of a self-humidifying stack operation at high performance by optimal parameter setting. |
