Abstract

The fuel cell systems are highly suitable for trucks, boats and other electric vehicle applications. The nonlinear behavior of a fuel cell adversely affects its output. In this paper, three control schemes namely proportional integral (PI), integral and proportional integral derivative (PID) control are proposed for output improvement of a fuel cell system. In order to supply dynamically varying power demand, a DC-DC boost converter is developed to achieve the preferred DC output. The proposed PEMFC-based energy system's MATLAB/SIMULINK model is designed to judge the PEMFC's output regulation. The best settling time and least overshoot are achieved with PI control scheme.
