Abstract

Energy sources are the utility main important aspect in our daily basic life. However, their cost of operation, installation or maintenance is continuously growing to be highly expensive and to this, the solution is by encouraging the usages of recently famous renewable energy, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell. However, this PEM Fuel Cell is not widespread and still new in Malaysia as well as the research is still in the initial stage. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design the Automated Calculation of Thermodynamic Potential Applied for PEM Fuel Cell. In this project, two different steps will take place. First, the implementation of block parameters of PEM Fuel Cell via MATLAB simulink software (*.mdl) has been used to calculate the hydrogen pressure against Thermodynamic Potential (Enernst) value and temperature against Enernst. In order to ensure that the calculation is accurate, these two different values will be compared with the theoretical calculations. Next, the development of Graphical User Interface (GUI) by using Microsoft Visual Studio is implemented. This GUI is prepared in order to create the application of Automated Calculation of Thermodynamic Potential Applied for PEM Fuel Cell. As a result, the new developed application system is expected to automatically calculate the nominal efficiency and the thermodynamic potential value of PEM Fuel Cell.
