New model predicts fuel cell performance in cold weather for cars.
The article discusses a new way to predict and control the cold start of fuel cells in vehicles. Researchers developed a model to forecast voltage and temperature changes in a water-cooled fuel cell system. They tested the model on a 5 Kw, 20-cell stack at different temperatures and found it accurately predicted the stack's behavior. This model could help improve the cold start of fuel cells in cars by providing real-time estimates and control strategies.
