The effect of transitions from low power to high power on the output characteristics of a stack based on proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is considered. The operation of the PEMFC stack in transient operating conditions in the on/off modes and a gradual increase in power with subsequent shutdown is analyzed. 40 % reduction in maximum power during continuous operation in the on / off mode and an 8 % reduction in power in the mode of gradual increase in power with subsequent shutdown being shown. It has been established that different degradation rates can be associated with some factors influence or their combination, including the time of operation at no-load voltage, the time of operation at maximum power, and the energy throughput per unit time. The power plant operation scheme on PEMFC is presented, which allows to withstand the cyclic change of operating modes, while smoothing out the negative consequences of transient modes.
