Abstract :Fuel cells, the technology of the future, are devices that create electrical energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen as a result of a chemical reaction and release heat with H2O as waste. Since electricity is produced without combustion, less pollution occurs. The part where the chemical reaction takes place in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell consists of the membrane. In this study, the fuel consumption of different sizes (5-25-50 cm2) of fuel cells was investigated and the factors affecting the performance were determined experimentally. First of all, the PEM fuel cell was installed, and appropriate amounts of Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) were sent to the fuel cell according to the characteristics of the established cell. During the study, the performances of different sizes of fuel cells were determined. The behavior of the fuel cell was determined according to the C-H ratio values in the fuel cell and power values were found according to the produced current. The performance of fuel cells was evaluated according to their size and the amount of electrical energy they would produce was calculated. In this case, it was determined that the fuel cell with a surface area of 5 cm2 was the most efficient in C60H60, 25 cm2 in C60H46 and 50 cm2 in C60H46, respectivelyKeywords : Yakıt hücresi, mebran, polimer elektrolit, güç performansı, yenilenebilir enerji
