Abstract
This paper deals with the determination of the optimal values to be given for the seven unknown parameters of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To this end, the weighted mean of vectors optimizer (INFO) metaheuristic algorithm is applied to estimate these parameters by minimizing the sum of squared errors (SSEs) between the measured and calculated voltages of the PEMFC. Three commercial types of PEMFCs are investigated: (i) BCS 500 W Stack, (ii) NedStack PS6 Stack, and (iii) Horizon 500 W Stack. The accuracy of the applied INFO algorithm is verified by comparing the estimated voltage–current \((I-V)\) characteristics with the measured data. Furthermore, the estimated parameters of electrical PEMFCs, the minimum reached SSE, and the standard deviation Std values achieved by INFO are compared with the results obtained using other competitive metaheuristic optimization algorithms such as Honey badger algorithm, Gradient-based optimizer, Harris hawks optimization, and others. From the obtained results, the convergence curves show that the unknown parameters of the three PEMFCs are better estimated using the proposed INFO than other algorithms.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
