Abstract :
This paper presents a dynamic Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Model (PEMFC) model based on mass balance and semi-empirical equations. A complete PEMFC System containing a Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) is also investigated and various scenarios are simulated to assess the behaviour of a grid-connected FC in a Distributed Generation (DG) network.
