The proposed model was implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The effects of temperature variations, fluid flow changes and capacitance due to double layer charging were incorporated in this model. The proposed model responses are in good correspondence with the published experimental results. It also predicts the temperature and pressure response of the PEMFC. The model formulated here would be helpful for the optimal prediction of characteristics and dynamic operation of a fuel cell stack.enElectrochemical CharacteristicsDynamic ModelPEMFCElectrical EngineeringOther
