Abstract

In this chapter, a model-based robust control is proposed for PEMFC system, based on SOSM algorithm. The control objective is to maximize the fuel cell net power and avoid the oxygen starvation by regulating the oxygen excess ratio to its desired value during fast load variations. The oxygen excess ratio is estimated via an ESO from the measurements of the compressor flow rate, the load cu rrent and supply manifold pressure.
