Preliminary Program subject to change
10B09 Dynamics and Control of Fuel Cell Systems I
OverviewIn this session we solicit papers reporting on the dynamics and control of all types of fuel cell systems. These include, but are not limited to, all types of fuel cell systems from individual stacks to balance of plant operations, such as reformers and shift reactors etc. It is requested that dynamic analysis papers pay special attention to assessing the impact of disturbances as well as identifying appropriate process manipulations. Control papers pertaining to feedback structure selection, open-loop trajectory planning, and off-line control are welcomed. Contributions from industrial groups are especially encouraged, as a balance of industry/academic views in the session is desired.
