It is necessary to force the fuel cell to operate in a condition which match up with its maximum power point (MPP). MPP varies nonlinearly with the unpredictable variation in the fuel cell’s operation condition. Thus, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is needed to deliver the maximum possible power to the load when a variation in the operation condition occur. The proposed control system consists of two-loop cascade controller with a DC-DC converter. The outer loop uses extremum seeking control to estimate the real-time MPP, and the inner loop uses that estimated value as a set-point for hysteretic control to force the fuel cell to operate at the estimated MPP by DC-DC boost converter. Extremum seeking control and hysteresis control are implemented on a dSPACE DS1104 controller board. For the experiment setup, small scale energy sources are operated, which is Constructor 50 W 10 A fuel cell. Simulation and experiment shows that this proposed control can achieve satisfactorily the maximum power point of fuel cell. © 2012 IEEE.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cascade controller,D-space,DC-DC boost converters,Energy source,Experimental studies,Extremum seeking,Extremum seeking control,Hysteresis control,Hysteretic control,Inner loops,Maximum power,Maximum power point,Maximum Power Point Tracking,Operation conditions,Optimal design,Outer loop,PEM fuel cell,Proton-exchange membrane,Small scale[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Extremum seeking,Fuel cell,Maximum power point (MPP),Proton exchange membrane (PEM)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSEngT.2012.6339313[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
