Mathematical Model Implementation for Simulation Purposes

Abstract

In this chapter the reader can find a guide for developing a realistic computational model of BPS with PEMFC for both steady state and dynamic modes. It is performed thanks to the use of the potentiality of three very well-known softwares for the engineering community. It is assumed that the reader has some knowledge about programming in the MATLAB environment. The other two softwares are HYSYS and ADVISOR. Therefore, the main details about the engineering steps for moving from steady state to the dynamic simulation of this complex system are given. The guide includes several figures which capture the screens of the different softwares and the chosen options for each one to complete the model. The code for the communication protocol between HYSYS and MATLAB is also included. In addition, some useful references to help the readers in getting more insight into the use of the three softwares are presented.
