Stabilization of A Single Chamber Single Population Microbial Fuel Cell by Using of a Novel Nonlinear Adaptive Sliding Mode Control

Abstract

The microbial fuel cell is one of the most important tools in the supply of renewable energy and its controller plays an important role in improving the performance and stability of its output. Using the advantages of adaptive and sliding mode methods, this paper presents a combined technique to ensure the stability and output voltage stabilization of the fuel cell in the presence of parametric uncertainties and nonlinear terms. The proposed control method is compared with classical control approaches and the simulation results confirm its efficiency.

Improving the Performance of Uncertain Disturbed Two Population Microbial Fuel Cell Using Robust Adaptive Sliding Mode Control

“…Although the work done in [45] has shown good performance, it will certainly not show good performance at critical times due to the non-resistive nature of the predictive controller. The control methods that are used in the articles [46][47] only guarantee the stability of the operation and not its optimal state, and in this respect, they have structural shortcomings. The control methods of adaptive backstepping and nonlinear adaptive, which are used in the articles [48][49], are not able to guarantee the optimal performance of MFC in the presence of twin uncertainty and disturbance adversities and therefore, it is necessary to use appropriate and innovative control methods to cover uncertainty and disturbance effects and ensure optimal operation.…”

“…Population growth and technological advances have led to an exponential increase in the use of fossil fuels, resulting in global warming and damaging environmental consequences and in such a situation, the only reasonable approach is to develop renewable energy technology and increase the share of this type of energy in the total energy portfolio through technological advances and investment [1][2][3][4].…”

A novel fuzzy reset method for pressure control of proton exchange membrane fuel cell in the presence of uncertainty

“…[1][2][3][4] Among these types of sources, fuel cells are of particular importance because they require cheap and abundant available primary resources to generate electricity from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and also have very low environmental pollution. 5,6 Among the fuel cell types, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is widely used in stationary applications and transportation due to its fast start-up time, high efficiency, high power density, low operating temperature, and optimal power-to-weight ratio, and is more developed than other fuel cells. 7,8 This cell consists of an electrolyte located between two thin electrodes at the anode and cathode.…”

Optimization of Microbial Fuel Cells Operating Parameters for Better Removal of Organic Matter and Higher Energy Production from Wastewater

“…Moreover, increasing carbon emissions from fossils fuels resources, followed by a change in carbon percentage in the atmosphere have a great input into global climate change; so extensive research was started globally to find cheap, environmentally friendly, and sustainable sources of renewable energy [1]. The research was devoted also to energy demand reduction through better socioeconomic demand management [2].…”

“…With further improvements in design, cost-effectiveness, and performance efficiency, it would be possible to scale up and use MFCs as a renewable energy resource [40]. It was reported that MFCs as an energy source and wastewater treatment method can be used in remote communities and also as a desalination plant [41][42][43]. Apart from generation electricity, the sediment MFCs have been used for successful in situ bioremediation [44,45].…”
