Sreedevi Nair, Amit Kumar Yadav . Modeling and Simulation of a Fuel Cell based System for Residential Applications. International Conference on Advances in Science and Technology. ICAST2014, 2 (February 2015), 19-22.
Fuel cell based power generation systems have gained tremendous interest in the near future, due to its reliability and high conversion efficiency. Among the different types of fuel cells, PEM fuel cells are gaining more importance due to its fast start up time and low operating temperature. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a fuel cell based system which can be used for residential applications. The polarization curve and the power curve of a stack of 65 fuel cells is plotted by using MATLAB. Simulation is done in the MATLAB-SIMULINK environment and the results are also discussed.
