Abstract: Energy is the crucial input for the overall development of the country. The standard of living of a given country can be directly related to per capita energy consumption. The available non –renewable sources produces sewere pollution and depleting day by day whereas renewable sources are intermittent. What is required is a zero emission generation technology which gives cost effective and pollution free energy on large scale basis. Few technologies like hydrogen fuel cell are replacing by conventional sources. This paper proposes a comparison of experimental results of PEM fuel cell with the theoretical results. The experimental set up is fabricated and established in the laboratories. After performance the results are compared with theoretical model. The proposed (Theoretical) model also developed, tested and compared. The developed model permits the simulation of PEM fuel cell with different parameter and allows the investigation of its behavior for any operating condition. The theoretical analysis (Modeling) is carried out by MATLAB software
