Abstract

In this chapter, fuel cell system modelling and controller development for performance improvements, are investigated. Essentially and in general terms there are two approaches to modelling; black box modelling and detailed dynamic modelling. This chapter introduces both modelling approaches and then used to apply to hydrogen fuel cell system and controller development for improved system performance. In addition, design and analysis of model based control systems are described with reference to a newly designed fuzzy-PID hybrid controller and the results indicate that the fuzzy-PID hybrid control strategy can improve the system’s performance significantly.
