ABSTRACT
With the development of new energy vehicles, fuel cell vehicles are considered an ideal means of transportation in the future due to their use of clean energy. As the core component of fuel cell vehicles, proton exchange membrane fuel cell directly affects the performance of the whole vehicle, hence, the research on proton exchange membrane fuel cell is extremely significant. In this paper, the theoretical analysis of proton exchange membrane fuel cell is carried out, and the simulation model of MATLAB/Simulink is established. Through the fuel cell voltage and power output at a different temperature, different membrane water contents, and different gas partial pressures, the influences of temperature, membrane water contents and gas partial pressure on fuel cell performance were analyzed (Jixin 2019), and the relationship between different factors and fuel cell performance were investigated. It is concluded that with the increase in temperature, membrane water content and gas partial pressure, the fuel cell voltage and power also increase by different degrees.
