This paper presents a numerical model of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) system reproducing an automotive-type powertrain. The 0D model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and it incorporates all the main auxiliary components (air and hydrogen supply line, cooling circuit) as well as the PEMFC stack unit. The model includes an ageing model to estimate the PEMFC stack degradation over time, resulting in progressive efficiency loss as well as in increased auxiliary power and thermal dissipation demand. The presented model enables the estimation of both PEMFC duration and of the time-varying request of heat rejection, facilitating the selection of auxiliaries to optimize the lifelong performance. The model constitutes the backbone for the design and optimization of PEMFC systems for automotive applications, and the integration with a degradation model provides a comprehensive research tool to estimate the long-term performance and lifetime of PEMFC system.

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical model of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) system reproducing an automotive-type powertrain. The 0D model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and it incorporates all the main auxiliary components (air and hydrogen supply line, cooling circuit) as well as the PEMFC stack unit. The model includes an ageing model to estimate the PEMFC stack degradation over time, resulting in progressive efficiency loss as well as in increased auxiliary power and thermal dissipation demand. The presented model enables the estimation of both PEMFC duration and of the time-varying request of heat rejection, facilitating the selection of auxiliaries to optimize the lifelong performance. The model constitutes the backbone for the design and optimization of PEMFC systems for automotive applications, and the integration with a degradation model provides a comprehensive research tool to estimate the long-term performance and lifetime of PEMFC system.
