Modelagem computacional e análise do comportamento de células a combustível de membrana polimérica em regime estático e dinâmico de carga

Abstract

The aim of this work is to give a feedback to the industry on the dynamic and static performance of the PEMFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell / Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell). This philosophy of study is an aid tool that models the fuel-cell to give confidence to the designer and to improve Controls on a new prototype before they are assembled. In this work the most important aspects of this new device, used to generate electricity, were carefully studied and implemented in a Computer in order to simulate its static and dynamic models when under the influence of a load change. The complete research involved the work to obtain design data, the operating principies for the PEMFC fuel-cell, a Computer simulation was also built and finally results of the static and dynamic performance of the model are presented.
