Outline of Final Research Achievements

The combination of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) allows high durability of PEMFCs. However, the load balance between these two devices is a critical issue. Load fluctuations that will damage the PEMFC is required to be reduces and the state of charge of the EDLCs has to be limit within the rated value.
In this study, we have first estimated the relationship between load fluctuation and degradation rate of PEMFCs using a numerical model that we developed, and have developed energy management strategy which reduces load fluctuation to the PEMFCs that will cause PEMFC degradation and limits state of charge of the EDLCs with in the rated value.
