An Online Energy Management Strategy For Multi-Fuel Cell Stacks Systems Using Remaining Useful Life Prognostic

A deterioration-aware energy management strategy for the lifetime improvement of a multi-stack fuel cell system subject to a random dynamic load

“…The optimal load allocations are obtained by solving a bi-level optimization problem with remaining useful lifetime (RUL) and efficiency as the objective functions. Bankati et al [27] improved fuel cell deterioration model by integrating calendar aging and operation cycling aging. Then, an online RUL-based EMS is developed for a MFC system to minimize system fuel consumption and deterioration, obtaining 30% improved lifetime compared to the classic average load split method.…”
