Abstract
This paper investigates a decentralized event-triggered adaptive control problem for uncertain interconnected air supply and thermal management nonlinear dynamics of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In addition, the constraint problems of the oxygen excess ratio (OER) and stack temperature (ST) are addressed for preventing oxygen starvation, parasitic loss, membrane dehydration, and electrode flooding of PEMFCs. First, the practical nonlinear interaction problem between the air pressure of the air supply subsystem and the ST of the thermal management subsystem is formulated. Then, a decentralized adaptive control design strategy is established to guarantee the constraint satisfaction of each subsystem and the asynchronously event-triggered regulation of the OER and ST. In contrast to the previous studies on the control of PEMFCs, this study first addresses the nonlinear interaction problem of the air supply and thermal management systems and their decentralized control design in the control field of PEMFCs. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, the stability of the resulting overall control scheme is analyzed.
