Fuel Cell System Modeling

Learn how Simulink^®, Simscape™, and Model-Based Calibration Toolbox™ are used to model a polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell system. Model a fuel cell using a physics-based approach that shows:

• Aspects of fuel cell electrochemistry
• Model balancing of the fuel cell plant
• Fuel cell optimization
• Fuel cell system response for an electric vehicle drive cycle

Next, simulate the fuel cell using a statistics-based method that focuses on using data, lookup tables, and statistics to develop less detailed models better suited for system integration and supervisory control studies.
