Abstract

In order to further understanding the behavior of PEM fuel cell and optimize their performance, it is necessary to perform measurements in real time. The measure of internal impedance of a fuel cell in load is of great importance. In this work, we present the impedance measurement method of a PEM fuel cell by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method (EIS), as well the study of an electronic load for the implementation of the measurement technique. The theoretical results are obtained by a simulation with PSPICE software.
