Resumen:
This chapter provides a description of PEM fuel cell-based system.
First, it shows the structure of a single cell, the advantages and
disadvantages of this type of fuel cell, the expressions of the
generated voltage and the efficiency, and the generic structure of a
generation system based on PEM fuel cell. Second, the chapter provides a
review of the principals models presented in the literature to describe
the behavior of the system. It describes in detail the model used as a
base to represent the system in the next chapters the book. Then, the
described model is used to study the optimal operation of a the fuel
cell at different loads, showing the benefits of an optimal operation
in terms of hydrogen reduction and greater peak power.
