A real-time 2D PEMFC model for fuel cell vehicle hardware-in-the-loop applications

In this paper, a real-time 2D PEMFC multi-physiques model is developed for fuel cell vehicle simulation purpose. For the consideration of real time model performance, an extrapolation method of a 1D channel pressure model into a 2D pressure map is used in the presented model. The developed PEMFC model is validated with experimental test. From the 2D modeling approach, different channel configuration types are also compared and discussed. The presented PEMFC model is developed for real-time fuel cell vehicle simulation and hardware-in-the-loop applications.
