Abstract: Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are devices that attract the interest for a variety of applications including portable devices, transportation and stationary power. Several models are available in the literature concerning PEMFCs with different modelling approaches. In this paper, two representative dynamic models are examined, one using an electrical equivalent and one based on semi-empirical equations. Moreover, an enhanced model based on semi – empirical equations and a simplified transfer function representation for the dynamic response is proposed. All models can be easily incorporated in power system simulation software. Scope of this paper is to present a parametric analysis method in order to determine the ability of each model to represent accurately the steady – state as well as the slow and fast dynamics of a PEMFC. The influence of each specific parameter is investigated and the tuning procedure is described. Finally, simulation results are presented and the adaptability of all models is evaluated.
