Comparison of proton exchange membrane fuel cell static models

Using experimental study results, this paper aims at evaluating the different analytical models that are used for modeling Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Stack (PEMFC). Three static models such as those of Amphlett, Larminie–Dicks and Chamberlin–Kim are demonstrated. These models are studied and validated experimentally with identification of their parameters separately. Hence, experimental results are compared for fuel cell test bench for two rated powers (400 W and 700 W). Furthermore, simulation results explicitly verify the accuracy and efficiency of these static models.
