Abstract

This paper is aimed at presenting a computational model of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack. The proposed simulation model is simple and at the same time includes all the important characteristics of a fuel cell stack. Close agreement between the simulation, manufacturer and experimental results confirm the validity and usefulness of the proposed FC model. Also, we propose the variable PI control method which has the best of follow efficiency than the PI control method. we confirm a reduced ripple and improved follow efficiencies when the system is applied the DC-DC converter, by simulation using PSIM.
