N2 - It is possible to reduce the cost of a fuel cell system with a self humidifying stack and replacing the aircondenser with a fan. This low cost PEMFC is suitable for portable appliances such as laptop computers, smart phones, cameras, etc. This paper describes a new model for the portable PEMFC with self-humidifying stack and fan. The model looks at the effect of temperature, hydrogen flow and oxygen flow on the self-humidifying stack, and gives the dynamic output performance of the PEMFC for step load variation with simulation results. Finally, experimental results are presented to validate the simulation results.
