Abstract :
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell power module is a complex system involving many couplings between various phenomena (hydraulic, thermal, electrical...). In this paper we present the dynamic system modelling tool that we have developed in order to address these problems. We will focus on the pneumatic, thermal and electrical couplings taken into account in the fuel cell sub-model. Then we propose a compressor control strategy in order to increase the dynamics of the system, and we show some simulations results that validate this strategy
