ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell system that includes an over-arching algorithm for providing a strategy that reduces relative humidity cycling of the cathode outlet gas between wet and dry operation to extend the useful life of the membrane. The algorithm receives sensor signals indicative of operating parameters of the fuel cell system. The algorithm maintains a cathode exhaust gas relative humidity in a wet operating mode if the operating parameters of the fuel cell system are able to sustain the cathode gas relative humidity above a first predetermined value, and maintains the cathode exhaust gas relative humidity in a dry operating mode if the operating parameters of the fuel cell system are able to sustain the cathode gas relative humidity below a second predetermined value.
