Fuel Cell I-V Characteristic

Open Model

This model represents a harness for calibration of fuel cell (FC) parameters. This example extracts I-V and power characteristic curves from a datasheet. The datasheet also contains specific properties such as the minimum and maximum hydrogen and the air flows.
