A new maximum power point tracking control method of proton exchange membrane fuel cell´s system

Devices for storage the electrical energy have become increasingly attractive. Fuel cell is a clean and efficient source of electricity. In order to bring up the system efficiency, this paper Perturb and Observe Control (P&O) method for Maximum Power Point Tracking of PEMFC´s System. In this work a complete study of PEMFC´s system integrating an MPPT controller is studied, also simulation work dealing with MPPT controller, a DC/DC boost converter feeding a resistive load is achieved. The simulation result of designed Perturb and Observe. P&O has better response time, less oscillation and much more accurate tracking. Significant extracted results are given to prove the validity of the proposed PEMFC´s system control scheme. In this paper, simulation model of PEMFC system´s maximum power point tracking based on the P&O control method is developed in the MATLAB software.
