Sliding mode control strategies for fuel cell system

The electric vehicle offering the better performance as compared to an internal combustion engine. In this context, electric vehicle powered by the fuel cell is an interesting solution because of their higher efficiency and clean source of energy. Fuel cell is providing continuous power to the load, so it is necessary to providing control strategies to fuel cell. This paper presents control strategies for fuel cell. The PI controller controls the fuel of fuel (H2 and O2) for constant power operation of fuel cell. The output voltage of boost converter is controlled with the help of sliding mode controller. The controller was designed and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The performance of control technique is tested through simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed technique is suitable for performance of fuel cell.
