Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has being widely applied in electric vehicle and distributed generation for its low corrosion, low-temperature operation and environment friendship. It should be concerned over the control and maintenance of its auxiliary equipments, placement site, restoring of hydrogen and other things when physical PEMFC is used. However, PEMFC’s volt-ampere (V-I) external characteristics draw our more attention rather than its ontology or peripheral devices control which keeps PEMFC working properly in many appliance studies. So, there is another solution to introduce power electronic technique to construct a FC power electronic simulator which simulates FC’s external characteristic including static and dynamic states and keeps away those troubles mentioned above. A buck converter is adopted to construct the FC simulator. The test DC current source load is acquired by a buck converter which main circuit is similar to the FC simulator. The experiments show the FC simulator has done a good job to simulator FC’s volt-ampere external characteristic and it is cost saved.

In the development of fuel cell (FC) systems and related control technologies, it is convenient to employ FC emulators instead of using real FC systems for the testing of various FC characteristic parameters and operating conditions. This paper proposes a low-cost, fast-response, and programmable proton exchange membrane FC (PEMFC) hardware emulator based on a two-switch DC-DC synchronous buck converter and a digital signal processor (DSP) acting as a kernel controller. The V-I characteristics and control signals of the emulated PEMFC are determined through system analysis, modeling, and digitalization of the PEMFC model. The developed PEMFC model is then used to construct a programmable user-interface module through C programming. The programmable digital module can be directly embedded into the DSP for simulation studies and experimental tests on various hardware integrated implementations of FCs. Results obtained from simulations and hardware tests are in good consistent with each other and both prove the correctness and effectiveness of the developed converter based PEMFC emulator.
