Towards a Study of the Operation of a Hydrogen-based Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell for Power Generation

Öz

Energy challenges continue to grow due to the depletion of usual energy sources on the one hand, and climate change due to pollution on the other. The development of new energy production systems is therefore a priority for the scientific community. Hydrogen is a solution for the future that preserves the environment and makes it possible to obtain electricity through chemical reactions. Hydrogen technologies and in particular proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have many advantages to be the clean source of electrical energy of tomorrow. In addition, the fuel cell can operate with pure hydrogen, which can be produced not only from fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil, but also from renewable energies (wind, solar, hydraulic, biomass). Fuel cells (PEMFC) seem to be a promising alternative. One of the most important scientific and technical challenges for the design and production of a fuel cell is to know how a fuel cell behaves in its real environment of use. The purpose of this paper is precisely to analyze the performance of the PEMFC type fuel cell using a modeling and a numerical simulation carried out under the Matlab / Simulink software. In the light of this study, it would be possible to assess the behavior of the PEFMC and compare it to the actual data.
