Numerical study on control strategy of a single cell proton conducting solid oxide fuel cell

  • Arkadiusz Szczesniak

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to examine a control strategy for a single proton conducting solid oxide fuel cell (H+SOFC). The study is based on a dynamic model originating from the steady state reduced order model of H+SOFC. The proposed control strategy is based on a singular PID controller that controls the amount of air delivered to the cathode side of the fuel cell. Additionally, fuel mass flow is correlated with current density to achieve a fixed fuel utilization factor. The concept was tested on typical operating scenarios such as load-follow mode. The study revealed that the singular PID controller is reliable and ensures a safe H+SOFC operation.
