Abstract

This paper presents the adaption of an existing multi- physics 1D fuel cell model to an existing PEM fuel cell system. The input parameters of the model are separated into system properties, linked to physical values, and running conditions. On the 40 system properties required, a sensitivity analysis was applied in order to identify that only four membrane properties have the most influence on the stack voltage. These parameter values were identified by optimization. The prediction accuracy with the new parameter values decreased to 1.48%.
