Low-temperature PEM fuel cell voltage prediction linked to operating conditions for a mission profile

Abstract

Fuel cell performances are directly linked to the operating conditions, which can fluctuate over time. The aim of this work is to introduce a fuel cell voltage prediction method based on the measured operating conditions while cycling a mission profile. The method is built and tested on analyzing the experimental results obtained during a test campaign while cycling a mission profile for 2030h. Four different configurations are illustrated and compared in this article, considering three different sets of parameters and two formulas.
