Modeling and Simulation of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Alongside a Waste Heat Recovery System Based on the Organic Rankine Cycle in MATLAB/SIMULINK Environment

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is the fastest growing technology on market. Due to their sustainable nature, PEMFCs are widely adopted as a renewable energy resource. Fabricating PEMFC costly process; hence, mathematical modeling and simulations necessary in order fully optimize its performance. Alongside this, feasibility of waste heat recovery system based organic Rankine cycle also studied power generation for different operating conditions presented. produces output 1198 W at current 24A. It has 50% efficiency hence an equal amount heat. That used drive (ORC), which turn additional 428 35% efficiency. total extracted stands 1626 W. MATLAB/Simulink R2016a both cycle.
