%T Modeling and parameterization of a pem fuel cell stack for a system integration into a metal hydride based hydrogen storage system

%X Power systems using renewable energy sources have emerged as a sustainable solution for decarbonizing the energy,sector. Implementing such systems requires integrating them with an efficient storage medium to improve their reliability,and flexibility. This work explores the modeling and parameterization of a fuel cell system, with the purpose of coupling,it with a metal hydride-based hydrogen storage reservoir. An electrical and thermal 0D simulation model for a 1.6 kW,air-cooled proton exchange fuel cell stack is developed to investigate its performance, heat transfer and temperature,development. The model validation and simulation are done by testing it with four different steady-state power demand,scenarios. Experimental results show an efficient thermal coupling between the fuel cell stack and the metal-hydride,system. Simulations and experimental results show an excellent agreement. The developed modeling approach is also,appliccable to the design of different gas-to-power configurations and sizes, for the design of fuel cell–metal hydride,storage systems.
