Review and comparison of approaches to proton exchange membrane fuel cell modeling

A review of recent literature on proton exchange membrane fuel cell modeling is presented. Fuel cell models can be categorized as analytical, semi-empirical or mechanistic. Mechanistic models can be further subcategorized based on the solution strategy, single-domain or multi-domain. The multi-domain approach develops and solves separate equations in each region of the fuel cell. The single-domain approach consists of equations governing the entire domain of interest, with source and sink terms accounting for species consumption and generation within the cell. The merits and demerits of each method are discussed. For a one-dimensional case study, both methods were compared quantitatively and results show that both models accurately predict the polarization effects and water management requirements.

Performance Comparison Between Planar and Tubular‐Shaped PEM Fuel Cells by Three‐Dimensional Numerical Simulation

AbstractThe results of a numerical simulation of the current distribution of a three‐dimensional, tubular shaped, proton exchange membrane fuel cell model are presented. An integrated flow and current density model to predict current density distributions in two dimensions along the membrane has been developed. The numerical model has a cylindrical geometry that includes diffusion layers on the anode and cathode side, the anode being the inner most electrode, and solves the same primary flow related variables along the channels and the diffusion layers. The simulation was performed with commercial flow solver software where a control volume approach was used and source term equations that characterize the electrochemical aspects of the fuel cell have been added.
