Abstract

Complete analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the proton exchange membrane electrolytic cell (PEMEC) is significant for its efficient and flexible utilization. To fully reflect the dynamic process including thermo-electric interactions within PEMEC, this paper disassembles this process and simplifies it for representation through a clear diagram of dynamic power flow. On this basis, we proposed a novel combined qualitative and quantitative analytical method for the comprehensive response by defining the evaluating indexes for PEMEC's response performance. Meanwhile, we analyzed the change pattern of dynamic response behavior, response time and the influence of thermo-electric interaction under multi-scenarios, like different voltage abrupt change magnitudes, different cathode operating pressures, and different inlet water temperatures. The results show that the PEMEC has the biggest response behavior with the longest response time under the largest external voltage variation magnitude. Besides, there is the shortest response time and smallest parameters total changes after response when the cathode operating pressure is 15bar Moreover, when the inlet water temperature is 40 °C it has the characteristic of quick action time and small response magnitude. The model, analysis method, and findings in this paper provide an effective reference for the operational regulation of PEMEC's thermal and electrical parameters.
