Hydrogen energy is a promising renewable resource for the sustainable development of society. As a key member of the fuel cell (FC) family, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has attracted a lot of attention because of characteristics such as having various sources as fuel and high energy conversion efficiency, and being pollution-free. SOFC is a highly coupled, nonlinear, and multivariable complex system, and thus it is very important to design an appropriate control strategy for an SOFC system to ensure its safe, reliable, and efficient operation. This paper undertakes a comprehensive review and detailed summary of the state-of-the-art control approaches of SOFC. These approaches are divided into eight categories of control: proportional integral differential (PID), adaptive (APC), robust, model predictive (MPC), fuzzy logic (FLC), fault-tolerant (FTC), intelligent and observer-based. The SOFC control approaches are carefully evaluated in terms of objective, design, application/scenario, robustness, complexity, and accuracy. Finally, five perspectives are proposed for future research directions.

“…According to literature, harsh environmental conditions have a significant impact on PEMFC, and as such, the researchers reviewed the progress of PEMFC that are affected by unconventional conditions that occur as a result of high-altitude climatic environments such as low pressure, vibration, low ambient temperatures, and cathode air starvation. Furthermore, Yang et al [41] conducted a comprehensive review of PEMFC control strategies by assessing a total of 180 literatures. The control strategies were grouped into nine main categories; it included adaptive control (APC), proportional integral derivative (PID) control, fuzzy logic control (FLC), fault-tolerant control (FTC), observer-based control, robust control, model predictive control (MPC), artificial intelligence control, and optimal control.…”

“…The PEMFC performance largely depends on its temperature; therefore, there is the need to regulate the temperature in a reasonable range to maintain an even temperature distribution of the entire stack to help reduce the consumption of fuel [41]. Equation ( 4) can be used to assess the energy balance over the electrolyzer system [41].…”

“…As seen in Figure 17, the main contributors to the publication of the 500 most influential PEMFC articles are USA (210), China (101), Canada (68), Germany (41), and France (31). Because some of the documents are multiple-country publications, those documents are counted multiple times for each country, and as such, the sum of all documents for each country in the list could exceed 500.…”

The consumption of hydrogen could increase by sixfold in 2050 compared to 2020 levels, reaching about 530 Mt. Against this backdrop, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been a major research area in the field of energy engineering. Several reviews have been provided in the existing corpus of literature on PEMFC, but questions related to their evolutionary nuances and research hotspots remain largely unanswered. To fill this gap, the current review uses bibliometric analysis to analyze PEMFC articles indexed in the Scopus database that were published between 2000–2021. It has been revealed that the research field is growing at an annual average growth rate of 19.35%, with publications from 2016 to 2012 alone making up 46% of the total articles available since 2000. As the two most energy-consuming economies in the world, the contributions made towards the progress of PEMFC research have largely been from China and the US. From the research trend found in this investigation, it is clear that the focus of the researchers in the field has largely been to improve the performance and efficiency of PEMFC and its components, which is evident from dominating keywords or phrases such as ‘oxygen reduction reaction’, ‘electrocatalysis’, ‘proton exchange membrane’, ‘gas diffusion layer’, ‘water management’, ‘polybenzimidazole’, ‘durability’, and ‘bipolar plate’. We anticipate that the provision of the research themes that have emerged in the PEMFC field in the last two decades from the scientific mapping technique will guide existing and prospective researchers in the field going forward.

“…Not only it has the capabilities to be used as a controller but also as a system identification when mathematics tends to be complex 32 . In the review made by Yang et al, 33 they found that FLC is a well‐used structure that can provide better performance than conventional controllers and it can be used with satisfactory outcomes in PEMFC systems. Authors Samadi and Rakhtala 34 have proven that FLC can show great performance especially when it is applied to power converters.…”

This research presents and compares the outcomes of experimental implementations of different fuzzy logic control structures for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). These devices are well known for their capability to transform chemical energy into electrical with low emissions. Commonly, a PEMFC has a linkage with a boost converter which allows a suitable end‐user voltage through a nonlinear control law. Hence, the contribution in this sense is the experimental comparison of two fuzzy logic strategies known as type‐1 and type‐2 that were implemented in a PEMFC system. The approaches were embedded in a control board dSPACE 1102 which also has the capability to acquire data. The contrast of results showed capabilities improvement against disturbances in terms of error reduction, control signal, and robustness.
