Modeling and operation optimization of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system for maximum efficiency
TL;DR: In this article, a constrained optimization problem was formulated to maximize the efficiency of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system by incorporating practical models derived from actual operations of the system, and the optimization results revealed that the efficiency gaps between the worst and best operation conditions could reach 1.2-5.5% depending on the power output range.
