Fuel cells are emerging as promising power sources and have attracted increasing attention from industries and academics worldwide. In particular, automotive manufacturers are replacing internal combustion engines in vehicles with fuel cell systems, which are advantaged by zero emissions, high efficiency, and various clean routes that generate pure hydrogen. However, current fuel cell systems are costly, and their corresponding infrastructures are not fully qualified to meet current market demand. This paper reviews the challenges and developments of automotive fuel cell hybrid power systems and their controls. It briefly summarizes the model, control, and optimization issue associated with the research and application of fuel cells in hybrid power systems. After presenting the basic knowledge and discussing the trending size and structure of fuel cells for automotive usage, the review describes models of automotive fuel cell systems, focusing on the electrochemical reaction dynamics and the key parameters influencing their efficiency and lifetime. The control problems associated with automotive fuel cell systems as well as the optimization issue associated with hybrid energy systems (comprising fuel cells, batteries, and ultra-capacitors) are elaborately analyzed. The review concludes with current problems and challenges faced by the energy control systems of fuel cell vehicles.

“…Indeed, PEMFC is emerging as one of the most promising transport applications candidates [3,4]. Because of its lower power and lower starting density, however, as well as its slower response power, PEMFC is still unable to provide ongoing energy to meet demand and is unable to regenerate the required power [5][6][7]. Nevertheless, it is possible to solve the PEMFC drawbacks by adding a secondary energy source such as batteries or ultra-capacitor (UC) or a combination of both [8].…”

Due to its high efficiency and reduced emissions, new zero-emission hybrid electric vehicles have been selected as an attractive challenge for future transport applications. New zero -emission hybrid electric, on the other hand, has some major drawbacks from the complicated charging process. The hybrid electrical fuel cell system is introduced as the main source to intelligently control multi-source activities. An ultra-capacitor system is selected as the energy recovery assistance to monitor the fuel cell’s fast transient and peak power during critical periods. To regulate energy demand and supply, an intelligent energy management system is proposed and tested through several constraints. The proposed approach system aims to act quickly against sudden circumstances related to hydrogen depletion in the prediction of the required fuel consumption basis. The proposed strategy tends to define the proper operating system according to energy demand and supply. The obtained results show that the designed system meets the targets set for the energy management unit by referring to an experimental velocity database.

“…Keep Warm strategies revolve around the idea of heating the PEMFC during parking to avoid freezing [17][18][19][20]. Thaw at Start strategies are chiefly based on heating the PEMFC at start-up to raise its temperature above zero [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The previous work of the authors, regarding the comparison of the above-mentioned strategies,…”

“…The first one, which is known as Assisted Cold Start strategies, uses an external heating source to generate heat and delivers it into the stack through a heat transfer medium [16]. The methods based on this group can be effective in terms of start-up time [22,25,27,28,34,38]. However, adding heating material impacts the volume, weight, cost and energy efficiency of a PEMFC system [16].…”

Real time adaptive efficient cold start strategy for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Cold start of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) at sub-zero temperatures is perceived as one of the obstacles in their commercialization way in automotive application. This paper proposes a novel internal-based adaptive strategy for the cold start of PEMFC to control its operating current in real time in a way to maximize the generated heat flux and electrical power in a short time span. In this respect, firstly, an online parameter identification method is integrated into a semi-empirical model to cope with the PEMFC performances drifts during cold start. Subsequently, an optimization algorithm is launched to find the best operating points from the updated model. Finally, the determined operating point, which is the current corresponding to the maximum power, is applied to PEMFC to achieve a rapid cold start. It should be noted that the utilization of adaptive filters has escaped the attention of previous PEMFC cold start studies. The ultimate results of the proposed strategy are experimentally validated and compared to the most commonly used cold start strategies based on Potentiostatic and Galvanostatic modes. The experimental outcomes of the comparative study indicate the striking superior performance of the proposed strategy in terms of heating time and energy requirement.
