Abstract

This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) for the air management system of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell System (FCS) to regulate the oxygen excess ratio for variable load conditions. The MPC acts only on the compressor motor speed reference. No static feedforward control has been used. The MPC has been devised by using the linearized model of the FCS to control the nonlinear system. The MPC has been also compared with a feedforward control scheme. The results show that the MPC is able to regulate the air management system in spite of rapid load conditions, with a quick recover of the oxygen excess ratio thus avoiding the oxygen starvation of the FC stack. Finally the MPC has been able to satisfy the constraints of the compressor for all the working conditions.
