Abstract

Fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. The paper describes a mathematical model of proton exchange membrane fuel cells by analyzing the working mechanism of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Furthermore, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed for the constant power output of PEMFC system. Simulation results prove that adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control has better control effect than conventional fuzzy sliding mode control.

Highlights

  • Due to the environmental problems and energy crisis, fuel cells as pollution-free energy sources have been receiving more and more attention in the recent years

  • The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) as one of the most popular kind of fuel cells has a wide scope of applications such as emergency power supply and small mobile power supply for outdoors power supply and high reliable and high stable power supply (Logan et al, 2010; Hatziadoniu et al, 2002; Padulles et al, 2000)

  • In order to overcome the parameter uncertainty and external disturbance, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control is presented for constant power output
