Abstract

In this chapter, analytical models and effects of operation parameters on the performance of PEM fuel cells are presented. This was carried out taking account of semi-empirical, one-, two- and three-dimensional modelling methods. Critical analysis of the performance of each modelling methods is included, and the effectiveness of those algorithms is experimentally verified using scaled PEM fuel cell experimental set-up.
