Fuel cells are gaining ground as energy sources in various applications (i.e. marine, heavy transport). Safe hydrogen transfer is challenging due to complex thermodynamics. In this simulation kit, you'll find models using the Fuel Cell component block (Simscape Electrical) for component calibration.
The collaboration between battery and fuel cell to supply an electric motor (via respective DC-DC converters) is also showcased. Moreover, the effect of pipe diameter and initial pressures during inter-tank hydrogen transfer is observed while regulation of cooling and compressor units is tackled.
Execute the scripts and run models as specified in the description.
