Abstract

Oxygen excess ratio (OER) is closely correlated with the power generation efficiency and dynamic performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. As OER changes with varying load, it is prone to oxygen starvation and slow response to OER reference value, and great challenges to OER control technology are brought. To this end, a dual closed-loop weighted fusion control for PEMFC system is proposed. The outer loop is utilized to obtain the optimal OER reference value, and the inner loop is utilized to track the OER reference value. This inner loop combines the merits of active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) algorithm and fuzzy self-tuned PID (FSTPID) method. Simulation results reveal that the proposed approach is superior to the other three methods in reducing the overshoot, settling time and avoiding oxygen starvation issues, and also in improving several key performance indices, such as integrated absolute error, settling time, etc.
