Abstract

With the application of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in the field of transportation and energy, the requirements for air flow and pressure tracking performance, efficiency and stability of PEMFC air supply system become higher and higher. To improve PEMFC cathode air flow and pressure control performance under load variation and avoid surge of air compressor, a novel feedback linearization sliding mode decoupling and fuzzy anti-surge compensation based coordinated control approach is proposed. Firstly, optimal references of oxygen excess ratio (OER) and cathode air pressure under different load are calculated based on net output power of PEMFC system analysis. Then, an extended state observer is designed to estimate the cathode air pressure and flow in real time, a feedback linearization sliding mode based decoupling controller is designed to enhance OER and air pressure tracking control performance and robustness. Considering on the operating trajectory and surge line of air compressor, a fuzzy logic based anti-surge compensator is designed to prevent air compressor from surge by compensating both air flow and pressure simultaneously. The proposed control approach is implemented in PEMFC air supply control experiments and the results demonstrates its effectiveness.
