Dynamic Evolution Control for Fuel Cell DC-DC Converter
Abstract: Fuel cells are new
alternative energy resource that has a great promise for distributed generation
and electric vehicle application. However, fuel cells have a slow response due
to their slow internal electromechanical and thermodynamic response. To
optimize the fuel cell system performance, a fuel cell DC-DC converter with an
appropriate controller which can regulate the power flow and automatically
adjust the converter output voltage is needed. This paper proposes a new
control technique for fuel cell DC-DC power converter. Design of the proposed
control method for fuel cell DC-DC power converter is provided. A new approach
for converter controllers synthesis based on dynamic evolution control theory
is presented. In this paper, synthesis example of boost DC-DC converter is
discussed. Performance of the proposed dynamic evolution control under step
load variation condition is simulated under Matlab-Simulink environment.
Simulation results show that the proposed techniques are capable for
controlling fuel cell DC-DC converter.
