Effect of Cell Temperature On The Power Output of A Pem Fuel Cell in A Test Bed Condition

This document analyzes the effect of cell temperature on the output power of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. It describes a system that uses sensors to monitor the pH and temperature of a fuel cell. The system controls a cooling fan and relay based on the sensor readings to regulate temperature and maximize power output. Hardware components include the fuel cell, sensors, microcontroller, LCD display, DC motor, and cooling fan. The system is programmed using embedded C and a KEIL cross compiler.

EFFECT OF CELL TEMPERATURE ON THE POWER OUTPUT

OF A PEM FUEL CELL IN A TEST BED CONDITION

ABSTRACT

Fuel cells are one of the cleanest and efficient technologies for electricity
generation with products of water and heat. Polymer Electrode Membrane (PEM)
fuel cells has been widely recognized as the most promising technique for future
generating devices in the automotive, distributed power generation and portable
electronic applications. In recent years, research and development in fuel cells are
accelerated but present cost of fuel cells is still too high for them to become
feasible commercial products. The performance of PEM fuel cells is known to be
influenced by many parameters, such as operating temperature, pressure and
humidification of the gas streams. In order to improve fuel cell performances, it is
essential to understand these parametric effects on fuel cell operation. This paper
attempts to analyze the effect of cell Temperature on the output power of a PEM
fuel cell.

EXISTING SYSTEM

 Low power and their narrow input voltage range makes operation difficult to
source and load in transient and steady state conditions.
 AC distribution does not benefit renewable energy generation that generates
DC power.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Parallel arrays are very efficient under high load conditions Primary (input)
side stacked half bridge to obtain low voltage to achieve reduced conduction
losses
 The load voltage VL around a nominal value will be controlled.
