Abstract: This study presents the optimization of parameter operation in (PEMFC) Proton Exchange of Fuel cell using the electrical model and the mathematical model. The parameters of the fuel cell are hard to be determine since, the developer did not provides their parameter in details. The modelling of thermodynamic mathematical model and the electrical model is model based on a dynamic model and both is modeled using Matlab/Simulink simulation software by following the Horizon-500 specification. The analysis of the model is model based on the losses of the system. The cell temperature plays a role in affecting the value of losses in the model. The input pressure plays part in affecting the stack output of the mathematical model where it is proven that a higher pressure will produce large difference in the stack output. The efficiency for both mathematical and electrical is below 10% less compared to the specification of Horizon-500 specification thus the model parameter is verified.
