MSU Capability Match-Up Alternative Power Systems Projects Initiated with Input by Nissan • Fuel Cell Simulation • Goals: • Develop a fuel cell simulation framework based on Loci framework to integrate all essential component models for seamless and dynamic fuel cell simulations. • Develop multi-fidelity simulation strategies for efficient and accurate fuel cell simulations targeting the design, optimization, and diagnostics of fuel cell systems. • Develop and validate essential fuel cell component models and integrated models through both bulk and distribution measurements. • Develop advanced material characterization and measurement techniques for model validation and fuel cell operation monitoring and diagnostics. • Experimental Fuel Cells • Goals: • To obtain the kinetic parameters of the ORR as a function of temperature between –20 to 30°C at a polycrystalline Pt surface in acid/water or acid/salt/water solutions • To characterize Nafion PEMFC proton-conducting membranes by SANS and proton conductivity studies after exposure to: (1) low temperature operation; (2) high temperature operation; (3) CO and SO2 during operation; and (4) operation at high current density. The characterization will involve SANS/USANS studies of changes in the domain structure versus that of the virgin membrane (before operation). Proton conductivity measurements will also be used to attempt correlation of proton conductivity to phase domain structure
