Modeling of The PEM Type Fuel Cells
Abstract
Population growth, industrialization, and technological developments are increasing the energy requirement of the world every day. Currently, the energy requirement is usually provided by fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are considered to be the main source of global warming due to generating high CO2 emissions. To reduce the greenhouse gases that threaten the future of the world and humanity, focusing on preference for clean, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy sources is necessary. The intermittent and fluctuating energy production potentials of renewable energy sources require continuous and efficient storage of energy. Fuel cells which are remarkable energy storage systems due to their high specific energy density, also use clean and environmentally friendly hydrogen for energy conversion. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEM) also called Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is the most common type of fuel cells. This study modeled PEM fuel cells modeled in MATLAB/Simulink program. The voltage losses, power, and voltage densities of the system were analyzed.
