An accurate model of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is important for understanding this fuel cell's dynamic process and behavior. Among different large-scale energy storage systems, fuel cell technology does not have geographical requirements. To provide an effective operation estimation of PEMFC, this paper proposes a support vector machine (SVM) based model.

An FC simulation or hardware emulation is necessary for prototype design, testing, and fault diagnosis to reduce the overall cost. For this objective, a sinusoidal model that is capable of accurately estimating the voltage behavior from the operating current value of the DC was developed.
