In the first edition of this book that was published in August 2008, the main focus was the modeling of PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells and nonlinear control design using the feedback linearization control method. Since then, the authors have continued conducting research in academia and industry on fuel cells and its power electronics applications. In the second edition, additional power electronics applications as well as material on direct methanol fuel cells and fuel cell temperature model have been added based on the authors research. In addition, an implementation of a digital signal processor controller-based power electronics system has been described in detail. Thus, we believe that the subject of this book will be of interest to faculty, students, consultants, manufacturers, researchers, and designers in the field of power electronics who will find a detailed discussion of fuel cell modeling, analysis, and nonlinear control throughout the book with simulation examples, test results, and power converter designs and their control algorithms. We assume that readers have a fundamental knowledge of control theory and fuel cell chemical reactions, electric circuits, and power electronics.

This book presents a comprehensive description of modeling and control of PEM fuel cells and its power electronics applications. It describes typical approaches and achievements in the modeling and control of PEM fuel cells. Both linear and nonlinear models and control designs are included. Also the power converter control designs for fuel cell power applications are explained including a linear controller, the sliding mode control technique, and predictive control.

For readers convenience, this book is organized in a self-contained way to introduce, in sufficient detail, the essence of recent research achievements in the modeling and control design of PEM fuel cells and its power electronics applications including simulations and its digital signal processor-based implementation. Mathematical preliminaries in linear control and nonlinear control, induction machine dq modeling, and space vector PWM (pulse width modulation) are provided in the Appendix of the book.

. These two chapters serve as the background and preparation for the following sections.

.

discusses the typical approaches of linear and nonlinear modeling and control design methods for fuel cells. It also serves to compare the linear and nonlinear control designs and their effectiveness.

presents the Simulink implementation of fuel cells, which includes the modeling of PEM fuel cells and control designs. Simulation results of linear and nonlinear controllers are presented and compared.

discuss the applications of fuel cells in vehicles and utility power systems and stand-alone systems. Details of typical models and control strategies are presented and discussed.

discusses the modeling and analysis of hybrid renewable energy systems, which include the integration of fuel cells, wind power, and solar power. Details of configuration and control schemes are presented and studied.

introduces a multiobjective optimization method for PEMFC by considering its cost and efficiency.

discusses power electronics applications in fuel cells, in which several control methodologies for designing power converters in fuel cells have been described in detail.
