Modelling and Analysis of Adaptive Fuzzy Controller for the Fuel Cell System

Abstract

In the paper presented, the operational functioning of fuel cell (FC) systems is introduced by designing of reactant flow pressure controller. A suitable design for controller is very necessary to enhancement of overall system performance. In order to govern the power of PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) an adaptive Fuzzy logic (FL) based controller is designed. A MATLAB/Simulink model is designed for the PEMFC based power generation system using efficient controller for the FC power management unit. A resistive load is considered for the performance evaluation of proposed controllers for transient analysis of FC. System’s performance is tested under several power demand conditions and it is found satisfactory for all the designed controllers.
