Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Proton-exchange membrane (PEM) is one of the most common fuel cells for renewable energy generation.In this paper, the structure of DC/DC boost converter is presented to improve the energy efficiency and the combination of proportionalintegral controller with adaptive sliding mode method is designed to achieve high output power as well as constant output voltage.The proposed method has the ability to cover uncertainty effects with an unknown upper bound due to the use of adaptive technique and in addition to improving the quality of output power and voltage of the PEM, also eliminates permanent tracking error and ensures the stability of the closed loop system.The stability of the closed-loop system has been obtained using Lyapunov method and the simulation and comparison results in MATLAB environment show the optimal performance of the system under the proposed method and high efficiency compared to the existing methods.
