Abstract

Currently, the demand for the energy source in Malaysia keeps increasing day by day. On the other hand, the energy source in Malaysia keeps decreasing as a result from the demand. Therefore, the government encouraged the use of renewable energy as an alternative energy source such as Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell. The PEM Fuel Cell used hydrogen as a fuel to produce electricity. However, the PEM Fuel Cell has some problem in which it affects the performance of PEM Fuel Cell. There are a few parameters such as pressure and flow rate hydrogen that affects on the performance of PEM Fuel Cell. Besides that, the existing method that has been used to analyze the data of the PEM Fuel Cell needs an expensive. Therefore, the problem that occurs in the PEM Fuel Cell specifically the effect of pressure and flow rate hydrogen should be investigated and analyzed. Then, the new method which is a signal processing technique will be introduced in the future. This technique is recommended to investigate the identification signal of the pressure and flow rate hydrogen towards the changing behavior in PEM Fuel Cell. From the polarization curve and periodogram results, it is clearly revealed that when the pressure hydrogen increased, the performance thermodynamic potential of PEM Fuel Cell will be increased. Besides that, when the hydrogen flow rate is increased, the performance voltage of PEM Fuel Cell will be decreased because the hydrogen flow rate is related with the moisture of hydrogen. Moreover, the identification signal of pressure and flow rate hydrogen by using signal processing technique is show that the changing pressure and flow rate hydrogen has an affects on the changing characteristic behavior in PEM Fuel Cell.
