New theoretical model of URFC<br />

• Covers both electrolyser (E) and fuel cell (FC) mode operation<br />

• Based on Butler-Volmer equations for both <strong>hydrogen</strong> and<br />

oxygen electrodes<br />

• Additional terms based on logistic function to incorporate<br />

saturation effects at high current densities in both modes<br />

• Includes impacts on cell potential of membrane proton<br />

conductivity, internal resistance, and electrical conductivity of<br />

endplates and gas diffusion backing layers<br />
