The effect of stoichiometry on dynamic behavior of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) during load change
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data are presented to show the transient response of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) subjected to change in the load. Overshoot and undershoot behaviors of the steady-state current density were observed for various rates of change in the voltage during constant inlet flow rate conditions. The results of these experiments with a 25 cm2 triple serpentine flow field indicate a correlation of the overshoot/undershoot behavior with initial and final stoichiometry. This transient analysis is potentially attractive in the operation of vehicle and stationary application and flow field designs. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Studies on the SPEEK membrane with low degree of sulfonation as a stable proton exchange membrane for fuel cell applications
Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with a low degree of sulfonation (DS = 40%) was prepared for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was sulfonated in concentrated H2SO4 under N2 atmosphere and characterized by the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) technique. After preparation of the SPEEK polymer, the obtained polymer was dissolved i...

متن کاملLead-Lag Controllers Coefficients Tuning to Control Fuel Cell Based on PSO Algorithm
One of the most important Fuel cells (FCs) is Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). The outputvoltage of this FC depends on current loads. This paper tries to introduce, implement and control the voltage ofPEMFC, during load variations. The output voltage of fuel cell should be constant during load variation. Toachieve this goal, a controller should be designed. Here, the Lead-Lag contr...
