This paper presents a simplified zero-dimensional mathematical model for self-humidifying proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack of 1 kW. The incorporates major electric and thermodynamic variables parameters involved in the operation PEM under different operational conditions. Influence each these upon performance are investigated. equations modeled by using Matlab–Simulink tools order to simulate developed with commercial available kW horizon (H-1000), which is used purposes validation tuning model. can be extrapolated higher wattage cells similar arrangements. New equation presented determine impact air supply instead pure oxygen concentration losses output voltage when useful current drawn from it.
