In order to explore the effect of relative humidity on the energy efficiency of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), a numerical model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell energy efficiency (GE) is proposed. Based on the original energy efficiency formula, the model uses the principle of chemical metering ratio and fuel utilization to infer the expression of specific fuel utilization rate, thus perfecting the energy efficiency model and considering the effect of changes in relative humidity and water volume in proton exchange membranes on energy efficiency. In this paper, it is proposed to use the method of combining theory with experiments, first by introducing the GE model into TheFluent through a custom function (UDF), then establishing a water-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell test system, and setting the operating condition parameters to 60 degrees C, the air pressure to 10kPa, the relative humidity to 50% and 100%, respectively, and finally to the GE model, fluent bring-your-own model and test data analysis. The results show that when the relative humidity of symmetrical humidification is 50%, the minimum error of the polarization curve between the GE model and the test data is 2.24%, and when the relative humidity of symmetrical humidification is 100%, the minimum error of the polarization curve of the GE model and the test data is 2. .24%, energy efficiency increases with the increase of relative humidity of the air infested, and when the relative humidity is 100% and the power density increases to 110.869mW.cm-2, the maximum energy efficiency can be achieved is 46.879%.
