Abstract

In this study, parametric investigation of a direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) system for evaluating the thermodynamic performance is conducted, including evaluation of a broad set of operating parameters and wide value ranges for them. The fuel cell system is modelled and a parametric model is developed by using MATLAB. The auxiliary system components are included into the model for consideration. The effect of the operating parameters such as temperature, pressure, membrane thickness, current density and anode-cathode stoichiometry on the system is evaluated, to predict the performance as close to real cases as possible. It is found that increasing the temperature increases the efficiency of the direct formic acid fuel cell system, followed by low-pressure and high-reference environment temperatures. The maximum exergetic efficiency achieved by detailed parametric investigation is 24%, where power production is 10 kW.
