Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM FC) operation is likely to be characterized by voltage dips on timescales shorter than 1 s, arising from temporary flooding of gas channels or porous layers, particularly when the FC is operated at high humidity levels. If supercapacitors are employed in hybrid systems, they can make up for the temporary lack of energy produced by the FC. However, the st... View full abstract»
