Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “A5: Hydrogen Energy“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology have directed the interest of the major research and industrial players towards PEMFC-based energy systems. This Special Issue of Energies aims to collect articles that describe the most up-to-date advancements in research and innovation on PEMFC systems for automotive and stationary applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- design of PEMFC-based power systems;
- management and optimization of PEMFC system operation;
- optimal control of PEMFC systems;
- PEMFC systems for micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) uses;
- PEMFC systems for backup applications;
- PEMFC systems for automotive uses;
- PEMFC systems as auxiliary power units (APUs);
- diagnosis of PEMFC system stacks and balance-of-plant (BOP);
- prognosis and estimation of PEMFC system durability;
- power electronics for PEMFC systems;
- use of PEMFC systems in virtual power plants (VPPs); and
- PEMFC systems for power-to-gas (P2G) and gas-to-power (G2P) applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
