Abstract

In this work, comprehensive mathematical models for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) with three different controllers (PID, FOPID and fuzzy + PID) are developed. The models are designed to control the PEMFCs' output voltage at a determined value by indirectly regulating the input hydrogen mass flow rate. The simulation results show that the developed model is well suitable for characterizing the performance a PEFC. The developed controllers are effective in stabilizing the voltage, the fuzzy + PID controller exhibits superior performance with smaller overshoot and faster response.
