Resumo

A model of a membrane electrode assembly is considered, taking into account the influence of various climatic conditions on power density. An analysis of the developed model is demonstrated in comparison with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack operating at different ambient temperatures. The discrepancy between the obtained data (less than 10%) between the model and experiment in the temperature range from −10 to +10°С is shown. The optimal ambient temperature for battery operation was 10°C. The decrease in specific power with an increase in temperature for every 10°C above zero was 0.006–0.008 W/cm2, which is an insignificant change and can be compensated by using a buffer energy storage device.
