Dynamic Simulation and Fuel
Cell Control System
The dynamic behavior of a fuel cell can be obtained from experimental mea-
surements or from sound physical models. Typically, the measured behavior
of the fuel cell only applies to the particular cell being measured. However,
the physical models can apply to various fuel cell systems and the physical
models can be tuned to a particular fuel cell to predict its behavior under
different operating conditions. By developing a physically based dynamic
model, the transient behavior of a fuel cell can be accurately predicted and
the design envelopes can be optimized. The dynamic model is especial ...
