Modeling the effect of external load variations on single, serie and parallel connected microbial fuel cells
Abstract
This paper presents a microbial fuel cell (MFC) model designed to analyze the effect of the external load on MFC performance. The model takes into account the voltage and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) dependence on the external load. The value of the model parameters were calibrated by means of the voltage relaxation method tests using a controlled load current. Laboratory measurements and MATLAB Simulink model computations were used to validate the proposed model. The tests results demonstrated that the proposed model accurately predicts the voltage and COD evolution during the batch cycle of the MFC. The root mean square error (RMSE) was used to assess the fitting goodness of the model. The RMSE of COD and voltage generation was in all the cases lower than 4%, predicting accurately the behaviour of single MFC as well as MFC connected in series or parallel.
