“…Hence, finding the fuel cell (FC) voltage and/or current operating point will maximize PEMFC efficiency. The PEMFC's continuous MPP tracking is one method for specifically achieving the MPP [ 15,16 ] . Due to the non‐linear V–I characteristics of fuel cells, it has the highest output voltage and power can operate at a single isolated operating point.…”

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), one of the many fuel cell varieties on the market, is distinguished by its low temperatures of operation, high reliability, and extended lifespan. The fuel cell system's maximum output can only be achieved at one specific operating point under varying operating circumstances. Hence, it is essential to get the most power possible from the PEMFC for improved functioning and optimal exploitation of grid systems. Thus, the design of a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for a PEMFC power system using an amplified salp swarm optimization (AS2O) algorithm is focused on. Here, an interleaved Luo converter is also used to produce a regulated output voltage with less switching stress and frequency. Moreover, the proposed work intends to effectively satisfy the energy demand of grid systems by obtaining the maximum electrical energy from the PEMFCs with less harmonics and low system complexity. The simulation and performance results of the proposed AS2O‐MPPT controlling model are validated and compared using several parameters using MATLAB/Simulink tool. Using the proposed controlling technique, the total harmonics distortion is reduced up to 1.16%, with the settling time of 0.0062 s, rise time of 0.0010 s, and peak overshoot of 0.255 W.
