An ANFIS Based MPPT Controller for Fuel Cell Powered Induction Motor Drive

Abstract

In this paper a novel Adaptive network based fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) based model for voltage regulation of the three-phase inverter with environment friendly high efficiency operation of proton Exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMC) has been developed for remote location application. The efficiency of fuel cell (FC) changes with operating voltage due to its non-linear characteristics. To overcome this problem ANFIS based controller is used, and its performance with traditional P and O based MPPT controller has been compared. A study of the behavior of Fuel cell power fed 3-phase, 5HP induction motor at different load conditions is presented, with voltage and current regulation of the 3-phase inverter.
