Analysis of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell in transient operation

Currently, fuel cells are increasingly used in industrial installations, means of transport and household applications as a source of electricity and heat. The paper presents the results of experimental tests of PEMFC at variable load, which characterizes the cell's operation in real installati...
