Abstract :
The paper presents a model of a Fuel Cell current-versus-voltage characteristic compared with the measurement data which it estimates. Difficulties in obtaining certain measured results are indicated and a need for hypothetical values of the maximum currents to be estimated is mentioned together with a necessity for search of an analytical model is discussed.
