AB - The aim of this paper is to design and investigate the dynamic behavior of a  PEM fuel cell system. Dynamic analysis of a PEM fuel cell system has been  done in Matlab\Simulink software according to electrical current that has  been applied from hybrid system. In addition, dynamical fuel cell system has  been explained according to oriented control that is started from air  injection compressor model. Also hydrogen valve actuator has been controlled  according to the compressor model. The results of the fuel cell dynamic model  as well as the applied compressor model are fully validated based on the  available results in the open literature. Finally, the effects of several  operating parameters of the fuel cell system such as anode and cathode  pressures, cell voltage, compressor voltage, compressor mass flow rate  variation with respect to inlet pressure ratio, net and stack powers on the  dynamic behavior of the hybrid system are investigated. The results show that  the model can predict the dynamic behavior of the fuel cell system accurately  and it can be used directly for any control purposes.
