Abstract
The present research work deals with prediction of hydrogen consumption of a fuel cell in an energy storage system. Due to the fact that these kind of systems have a very nonlinear behaviour, the use of traditional techniques based on parametric models and other more sophisticated techniques such as soft computing methods, seems not to be accurate enough to generate good models of the system under study. Due to that, a hybrid intelligent system, based on clustering and regression techniques, has been developed and implemented to predict the necessary variation of the hydrogen flow consumption to satisfy the variation of demanded power to the fuel cell. In this research, a hybrid intelligent model was created and validated over a dataset from a fuel cell energy storage system. Obtained results validate the proposal, achieving better performance than other well-known classical regression methods, allowing us to predict the hydrogen consumption with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 3.73 with the validation dataset.

Environmental care is currently a trend, but it is an important issue for society and governments
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an artificial intelligence technique based on the biological neurons model; the information is managed by unitary component called a neuron
The model created in this research predicts the variation in the hydrogen flow consumption by a fuel cell in an early future
Summary
Environmental care is currently a trend, but it is an important issue for society and governments. As mentioned before, it is very important to obtain the right prediction of both the generation and the consumption, with the aim to achieve the correct decisions [22] When it will be necessary for energy selling or purchasing, the accurate forecasting must be decisive to be efficient under an economical point of view [23]. Taking into account this affirmation, it is very important to have an effective prediction when a fuel cell system based on hydrogen is used. The results are detailed and the last section exposes the conclusions and the future works
