Neural network modeling and control of proton exchange membrane fuel cell

A neural network model and fuzzy neural network controller was designed to control the inner impedance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)stack. A radial basis function(RBF)neural network model was trained by the input-output data of impedance. A fuzzy neural network controller Was designed to control the impedance response.The RBF neural network model was used to test the fuzzy neural network controller.The results show that the RBF model output Can imitate actual output well, themaximal errorisnotbeyond 20 mΩ, thetrainingtime is about 1 s by using 20 neurons, and the mean squared errors is 141.9 mΩ2.The impedance of the PEMFC stack is controlled within the optimum range when the load changes, and the adjustive time is ahnllt 3 rain.
