Abstract :
In this paper, a one-dimensional electrical circuit model of HPower proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is presented. The model includes the effects of electrochemical and electrical processes which are activation, ohmic, and concentration polarization. The steady-state behaviors of the model are validated by the experimental results under different operating conditions
