Optimal formation of a PEMFC-based telecom tower using Courtship Learning-based Water Strider Algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays, because of the population growth, the electricity supplying has faced different several types of issues. An example of these issues is about telecommunication stations (BTS), which are sometimes built at high altitudes with difficult access. Due to the abundance of these stations around the world, it is certain that choosing the optimal method to supply them with energy will save significant electricity costs. A new optimized and clean system by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is proposed in this study to achieve a consistent supply system for the telecommunication towers. The main purpose is to present an optimal regulated output voltage from PEMFC to the BTS to provide a safe power for the Telecom system. To do so, an optimal PI controller based on a new designed metaheuristic, called Courtship Learning-based Water Strider Algorithm (clWSA) is introduced. A comparison of the final achievements of the regulator with some other techniques are carried out to show the proposed system superiority against them.
