Generalized Predictive Control for Gas Supply System in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gas supply system in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell power system consists of hydrogen supply and oxygen supply. In order to improve the system output performance and maintain the pressure difference between the anode and cathode at the setting points under the variational load currents, a generalized predictive control strategy is applied to the gas supply system of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell in this paper. The fuel cell stack and gas supply system were modeled for the purpose of performance analysis and controller design. And then the designed generalized predictive controller was implemented to control the hydrogen flow rate and oxygen compressor voltage. The simulation results illustrated that the proposed controller can provide better response characteristics of the pressure difference, hydrogen and oxygen supply system as compared with PID controller.
