Title Real time Qualitative Model for estimate Water content in PEM Fuel Cell Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 455-459
Keywords
Abstract To maintain optimum performance of the electrical

response of a fuel cell, a real time identification of the

malfunction situations is required. Critical fuel cell states depend,

among others, on the variable demand of electric load and are

directly related to the membrane hydration level. The real time

perception of relevant states in the PEM fuel cell states space, is

still a challenge for the PEM fuel cell control systems. Current

work presents the design and implementation of a methodology

based upon fuzzy decision techniques that allows real time

characterization of the dehydration and flooding states of a PEM

fuel cell. Real time state estimation is accomplished through a

perturbation-perception process on the PEM fuel cell and further

on voltage oscillation analysis. The real time implementation of

the perturbation-perception algorithm to detect PEM fuel cell

critical states is a novelty and a step forwards the control of the

PEM fuel cell to reach and maintain optimal performance.

Title Sustainable Energy: A Strategic View of Fuel Cells Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 239-243
Keywords
Abstract Based on the model of the proton exchange fuel cell in a strategic context,

this document develops the issue of energy as one of the pillars to achieve the

sustainability of our planet, considering the future scenarios up to the year 2060 of the

situation energy, hydrogen as a strategic vector and the contribution of the fuel cell in

solving the serious problems of environmental pollution and economic inequity that

humanity faces; for its application in the energy generation, telecommunications and

vehicle manufacturing industries.

Title Transients analysis in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: A critical review Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 249-252
Keywords
Abstract When a proton exchange fuel cell operates it produces in addition to electrical

energy, heat and water as sub products, which impact on the performance of the cell. This

paper analyzes the issue of transients and proposes a model that describes the dynamic

operation of the fuel cell. The model considers the transients produced by electrochemical

reactions, by flow water and by heat transfer. Two-phase flow transients result in

increased the parasitic power losses and thermal transients may result in flooding or dryout of the GDL and membrane, understanding transient behavior is critical for reliable

and predictable performance from the cell.
