Simscape blocks: Moist Air compressor & Fuel Cell Membranne Electrode Assembly

From the video: Modeling Fuel Cells in Simscape (2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LgxHuDrk-8&t=7s

Where can I find the Membrane Electrode Assembly and the Moist Air Compressor blocks (min 2.40)? I don't see them in the Simscape Librery. Do I need to download an additional library?

Hi Victor,

I understand that you want to find the blocks shown in the attached video by the MathWorks Youtube Channel.

The technical circuit diagram illustrated in the video is not representative of the blocks present in the Simscape library. It is used for the ease of explanation and learning. In the video itself, the speaker has said the same where he indicates that you have to design by combining existing Simscape blocks and customizing their parameters to represent those specific components.

Therefore, you won't find these blocks as pre-built components in any standard Simscape library. Additionally, since the aim is to model a fuel cell, you can refer to the below documentation to know more about modelling fuel cells:

Hope it helps,
