Information

FC3Layer-Casestudies

This case study is formed by three layers fuel cell, Membrane layer, active layer and diffusion layer ("mem_layer", "act_layer"and "dif_layer" in "Layers1D" package), the terminals ("col_cat" and "col_mem" in "Basics" package) and a constant standard Modelica resistance.

The value of the standard Modelica resistance can be defined for a "pol_curve_FC3.mos" to simulate a polarization curve.
Before to simulate the polarization curve is necessary to translate the FuelCellLib.casestudies.FC3Layer.
The results are on a polarization" archive in the "casestudies" folder. The resistance can be substituted by another electric load as a standard Modelica class or one of "Basic" ---> "Loads" classes for a dynamic study of the FC3Layer.

On FC3Layer is necessary to define two main parameters:
"Eref": Theorical thermodynamic open circuit voltage and
"pH2": Hydrogen pressure in anode, to define the electro-chemical thermodynamic open circuit (see col_cat class).

Parameters

Name	Default	Description
T	340	Operation temperature of the FC [K]
Eref	1.1	Theorical thermodynamic open circuit voltage [V]
pH2	100000	Hydrogen pressure in anode [Pa]
