Abstract

Thiswork is a preliminary study of using the PBI-based, HTPEMfuel cell technology in automotive applications. This issue was investigatedthrough computational modeling and an experimental investigation. A hybrid fuelcell system, consisting of a 1 kW stack and leadacid batteries, was implemented in a small electrical vehicle. Adynamic model was developed using Matlab-Simulink to describe the systemcharacteristics, select operating conditions and to size system components. Preheatingof the fuel cell stack with electrical resistors was investigatedand found to be an unrealistic approach for automotive applications.A simple and reliable approach to temperature management in thestack was using the unpressurized, cathode air stream as coolant.
