Abstract

This paper presents a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell model. Mass balance and semiempirical equations are used in the modelling process. The model has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink and tested using various scenarios in order to study the transient behaviour of a PEM fuel cell. The need for a Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) connecting the fuel cell to a Distributed Generation (DG) network has also been investigated.
