Abstract :
Recently fuel cell has been paid significant attention because of their several advantages namely higher efficiency and eco-friendly technology and finds applications in vehicles, various house hold applications, electronic devices, and to support the electricity grids. In this paper various fuel cell technologies, their working principle, and applications are presented. Also the mathematical modeling and Simulink model of Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and Solid Oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and their operating characteristics are presented in details. The effect of various parameters on PEMFC performance is also assessed under various operating conditions in detail. The results prove the validity of developed Matlab/Simulink models of FCs.
