Optimization of PEMFC Model Parameters Using Meta-Heuristics

The present study introduces an economical–functional design for a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell system. To do so, after introducing the optimization problem and solving the problem based on the presented equations in the fuel cell, a cost model is presented. The final design is employed fo...
