I. INTRODUCTION
The serious environmental pollution and energy crisis
around the world are driving innovation on new energy sources
such as solar, wind, geothermal or hydrogen. Among these,
fuel cells are electrochemical devices that produce electricity,
water and heat from hydrogen and oxygen [1].
Among all types of fuel cells, The proton exchange
membrane (PEM) fuel cell, also called solid polymer fuel cell
(SPFC), is particularly suitable for use in wide range
applications, with advantages of high efficiency, low weight,
low pollution and low operation temperature (50C to 100C)
which allows fast starting times. However, short lifetime and
high expenses has hindered their vast applicability in common
system up to now [1]. As a result, in order to improve the
performance, enhance the lifetime and reduce the production
costs, the optimization of system design and materials as well
as effective control strategies are essential.
Many control strategies have been proposed containing
dynamic feedforward and linear quadratic regulator [2] and
[11], nonlinear control [3], sliding mode control [1] and [4],
model predictive control [5] and Fuzzy logic control [6], [7]
and [8]. These control methods are applied for the
manipulation of the oxygen excess ratio in PEM fuel cells with
various degree of success.
A Fuzzy self-tuning PID controller is proposed in this paper
in order to regulate the oxygen excess ratio at a desired value
when the stack current changes. The proposed control scheme
is separated into two parts: fuzzy tuner and classical PID
controller. The parameters of PID controller are adapted by
means of fuzzy tuner. The dynamic model used in this paper to
