For electric vehicular propulsion the generation of electricity can be made using systems based on Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, that allow vehicle operation with zero emissions in urban environments. It is often advantageous to couple these Fuel cells with supercapacitors for improved performance. For correnct design of different parts of this hybrid generation system it is important to have suitable models for all components, to be insterted in simulation programs. This paper is intended to propose these models, posing the maximum care in choosing the right complexity level to obtain a good balance between model manageability and precision of results.
