Modeling and Analysis of a Low Pressure

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the fuel cell
system performance operating at low pressure and different
temperature levels. A polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is
analyzed according with the possibility of using in transport
applications. Therefore, it begin with the description of a
parametric model of the fuel cell which has been developed
using a combination between empirical and mathematics
modeling techniques. This model enables to study the
influence of the gases management (pressure) on the fuel cell
stack performances. The study continues with the modeling
and simulation of a blower as the active element for the
compression air system.
