14th Nordic Process Control Workshop - Espoo, Finland
Duration: 23 Aug 2007 → 25 Aug 2007This paper presents a non linear model predictive controller for a PEM fuel
cell for which the starvation control is the main objective. A second order Volterra
model for control is obtained using input/output data for which the power supplied by
the fuel cell is considered as a measurable disturbance. The controller developed allows
to solve the nonlinear objective function in a way that it can be actually implemented
in fast systems like Fuel cells. The use of a nonlinear controller is justified while
comparing the outcome obtained with a linear controller of the same class
