Abstract: (130 Views) |
With the advancement of energy issues and the increase of disputes over energy, various methods have been proposed to sanitize and prevent the shortage of energy resources. The best solution to the crisis is to save energy and its resources using renewable energy or sustainable transportation, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Fuel cells are the most up-to-date example of sustainable transport for energy systems, and the fluids involved in this conversion are hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cells have been studied in five main types with electrolytes. In this paper, a solid oxide fuel cell is modeled at a very high temperature so that it can achieve the maximum average power in this type of cell. Control in the fuel cell is very important. From the change of the initial polarization voltage, an attempt is made to control the performance of the cell, or in other words, to control the fuel cell. The range of changes in this diagram depends on the dimensions, geometry, voltages and energy of the cell. It is observed that if the current density reaches approximately 1700 amps per square meter, the average cell power reaches its maximum value, which is the main purpose of this simulation. The results also show that the higher the average current density in the cell, the lower the cell voltage, but with increasing initial voltage, the average current density will increase. |
