ANFIS-Based Modeling of the Nexa™ 1.2 kW Fuel Cell Module for Enhanced PEMFC Emulation
摘要
This paper presents a fuel cell emulator designed to replicate Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEM- FCs). The proposed emulator is based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model, trained using experimental data from the Nexa 1.2 kW fuel cell system. The control approach employs a cascade loop, integrating a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to manage the outer loop and a proportional-integral (PI) controller to handle the inner loop, enhancing performance under varying load conditions. Moreover, for the power stage, a DC/DC buck converter has been included to ensure a stable power management. The obtained results show that the proposed emulator accurately mimics the Nexa™ 1.2 kW fuel cell’s behavior and making it a valuable tool for fuel cell research and development.
