Simulator of fuel cells characteristics on the basis of the semiconductor converter

Abstract

The results of development and research of the simulator of fuel cells characteristics based on the operated pulse converter with direct current and digital alarm processor have been considered. The electrochemical model of fuel cell considering its static and dynamic characteristics is incorporated in the algorithm of the processor work. The specified simulator has on loading terminals the same characteristics of output capacity as a real system. It allows abandoning the use of both the elements and expensive accompanying systems at stages of research, design and realization of independent systems of power supply on the basis of fuel cells.
