@conference{10902/19571, year = {2006}, month = {4}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/19571}, abstract = {This research work is devoted to the development of an electrical and mathematical model able to simulate the static and transient phenomena in a small power polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM) system. At present, there are different electrochemical models available to capture the steady state behavior by estimating the equilibrium voltage for a particular set of operating conditions. However, it is difficult to find models capable of describing transient phenomena. Dynamic models are very interesting from a practical point of view when the loads exhibit large variations. Some examples are powertrains of land-based vehicles or submarines. In that cases, the output power from the fuel cell shows large variations during acceleration and deceleration.}, organization = {The authors would like to thank the support of the Spanish Government under the PROFIT research project CIT-120000-2005-19.}, publisher = {European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ)}, publisher = {Renewable Energy and Power Quality Journal (RE&PQJ), 2006, 1(4), 281-284}, publisher = {International Conference on Renewable Energies and Power Quality (ICREPQ’06), Palma de Mallorca}, title = {A simplified electrical model of small PEM fuel cell}, author = {Andrea Calvo, Emilio and Mañana Canteli, Mario and Ortiz Fernández, Alfredo and Renedo Estébanez, Carlos J. and Eguíluz Morán, Luis Ignacio and Pérez Remesal, Severiano Fidencio and Delgado San Román, Fernando}, }
