Performance parametric analysis of a PEMFC model

A fundamental aspect in fuel cell design is the modeling of both the static and dynamic behavior. In this paper the parametric analysis of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model, in which static and dynamic behaviors coexist, is introduced. The model sensitivity with respect to the parameters provides a measure of its reliability and robustness. Such an analysis also gives information about the influence of physical phenomena on the real system behavior.
