Dynamic simulator for a PEM fuel cell system with a PWM DC/DC converter / Song-Yul Choe in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 23 n°2 (Juin 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 23 n°2 (Juin 2008) . - pp. 669 - 680 Titre : Dynamic simulator for a PEM fuel cell system with a PWM DC/DC converter Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Song-Yul Choe, Auteur ; Jong-Woo Ahn, Auteur ; Jung-Gi Lee, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 669 - 680 Note générale : Energy conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : DC-DC  power  convertors;  PWM  power  convertors;  power  control;  proton  exchange  membrane  fuel  cells Résumé : Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells typically have low voltage, high current, terminal characteristics that cannot accommodate common electric loads like electric motors or power utility grids. Thus, a dc/dc converter is required to boost the output voltage of these power systems. Furthermore, the terminal characteristics are dependent on loads and operating conditions of the fuel cell system. The continuously changing power demand of an electric load requires dynamically replenishing the air and fuel, by properly maintaining humidity in the cell and efficiently rejecting the heat produced. These factors present important challenges for the design of reliable and durable power systems. We present new dynamic models for a fuel cell system and a pulsewidth modulation dc/dc converter with associated controls and integration. The model for the system consists of three subsystems that include an PEM fuel cell stack, an air supply, and a thermal system. Four different controllers were designed to control the air, the coolant, and the output voltage of the converter, and to optimize the power flow between the fuel cell and the output capacitor. The integrated model with its controls was tested using a real-time simulator that reduced computational time and facilitated the analysis of the interactions between loads and the fuel cell components and also allowed the optimization of a power control strategy. The responses of a static and dynamic load show that the power controls proposed can coordinate two energy sources, resulting in improved dynamics and efficiency.
