Multivariable control for fuel cell stacks

Abstract EN

This paper is discussed the multivariable control for fuel cell stacks.

Multiinput multi-output (MIMO) control systems are commonly used where there are difficult control problems for the operator.

The PEMFC is considered to be an MIMO system.

Because the significant interactions between them limit the controller's duty performance, the net power and oxygen ratio must be carefully managed.

An improvement can be achieved by applying a MIMO control.

So, this paper focuses on the linearization study of the non-linear dynamic models and MIMO control of PEMFC.

This linear model will be employed in the fuel cell stacks control design techniques.

As result, the decoupling controller created can be utilized to regulate the FCS.
