“…To improve these two specifications, either stack volume must be reduced or current density, which is the performance of the single cell, should be increased. The stack's volume and weight are closely related to the bipolar plate (BP) because BP occupies about 60% or more of the stack weight and about 50% or more of the stack volume [1][2][3][4]. Because BP occupies a considerable portion of the stack, there are many requirements.…”

Stainless steel bipolar plates (BPs) fabricated using innovative additive manufacturing techniques can improve fuel cell performance and reduce costs. A high current density can be obtained using a low‐cost membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with low platinum (Pt) loading at the anode, along with BPs with rectangular micro channels. Three types of BPs of serpentine flow field are designed after varying the width of the rectangular channel. Two types of MEAs are used. First is 0.12 mg cm−2 Pt loading at anode, and the second is 0.50 mg cm−2. Wherein MEA with Pt loading at 0.12 mg cm−2 is used, a high current density is obtained as the channel width decreases. The BP with 300 µm channels has a current density of 1.205 A cm−2, which is higher by 31.4% than that of BP with 500 µm channels and higher by 70.2% than that of the BP with 940 µm channels. However, when the MEA with Pt loading at 0.50 mg cm−2 is applied to the test, the opposite results are obtained: As the channel width becomes narrow, the current density decreases. In the long‐term operation, a similar trend in the current density as that of the short‐term operation is observed.

“…Among them, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is the best alternative to traditional power supply due to its advantages of simple structure, fast start, high power density, low noise, zero pollution and so on 3 – 5 . PEMFC has great application potential in electric vehicles, distributed power generation, portable power system, islanded microgrid, aerospace equipment, etc., and plays an important role in alleviating environmental pressure and rebuilding energy consumption structure because of its outstanding environment-friendly characteristics 6 , 7 . However, its disadvantages such as short service life, fast performance decay and high maintenance cost have not been well solved, which hinder their further wide popularization and applications 8 , 9 .…”

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an effective method to improve the power generation efficiency and power supply quality of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Due to the inherent nonlinear characteristics of PEMFC, conventional MPPT methods are often difficult to achieve a satisfactory control effect. Considering this, artificial bee colony algorithm combining fuzzy control (ABC-fuzzy) was proposed to construct a MPPT control scheme for PEMFC. The global optimization ability of ABC algorithm was used to approach the maximum power point of PEMFC and solve the problem of falling into local optimization, and fuzzy control was used to eliminate the problems of large overshoot and slow convergence speed of ABC algorithm. The testing results show that compared with perturb & observe algorithm, conductance increment and ABC methods, ABC-fuzzy method can make PEMFC obtain greater output power, faster regulation speed, smaller steady-state error, less oscillation and stronger anti-interference ability. The MPPT scheme based on ABC-fuzzy can effectively realize the maximum power output of PEMFC, and plays an important role in improving the service life and power supply efficiency of PEMFC.
