Abstract

Fuel Cells are one of the green technologies that are currently undergoing rapid development. They have the tendency of someday replacing fossil fuels in supplying some of our everyday energy needs. In this paper, a dynamic model of the Nexa 1.2 kW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell system was identified and developed using Particle Swarm Optimization. The developed dynamic model would serve as a good base for fault diagnosis studies on the fuel cell system.
