Bharti Kumari, Ravindra S. Rana, C. Y. Patil . FPGA and dSPACE based Sliding Mode Control of Boost Converter for PEM Fuel Cell Application. International Journal of Computer Applications. 51, 18 ( August 2012), 4-10. DOI=10.5120/8140-1690
This paper presents a non-linear dynamic model of a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell and its simulation in MATLAB. A single cell and three cells stack is fabricated and simulation results obtained are validated experimentally with the dynamic response of the system for change in values of different system parameters. To meet the varying requirements of the load, boost converter circuit is designed and classical PID as well as advanced sliding mode control strategies are simulated in MATLAB and implemented using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and d-SPACE for experimental validation.
