“…In [43], a transformer with multiple secondary coils was added in series to a full bridge converter to increase the fuel cells efficiency. In [44] however, a boost converter was used to regulate the output voltage of the fuel cell before reaching the DCIDC converter.…”

Fuel Cells received a major research interest in the past few years. However, despite their promising features, Fuel Cell systems still lack a solid fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance study. There are numerous faults that have to be detected and diagnosed on a fuel cell power generator system, ranging from chemical faults, to electrical and power electronics faults. Several fault diagnosis techniques were proposed in literature. This paper presents an overview on all those fault diagnosis tools, analyze their effectiveness, and highlight their drawbacks if any.

In this paper, a new control strategy including saturation management of hybrid fuel cell/ultracapacitors power source is described. First, an analysis of hybrid architectures using fuel cells and ultracapacitors for automotive applications is presented. Then, a two-converter parallel configuration is more precisely detailed. The model and the control strategy are described using the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR). So, the main originality of this paper is based on the consideration of the systems limits. This leads to a very complete Energy Management Strategy, which has been evaluated and validated in simulation.

“…The PEMFC plays the role of main power supply under normal conditions, and the battery or ultracapacitor provides the rest of the power when overload is necessary or when the PEMFC starts up or when the load changes sharply. Compared to conventional batteries, the ultracapacitor has some advantages such as higher power density, higher pulse current, smaller size and the possibility to be used in an active filter [17]. On the other hand, ultracapacitors are still very expensive for industrial application.…”
