Abstract
Precise control of cathode pressure and flow rate is critical to the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems. This study presents a model of the cathode subsystem of fuel cell engines, and the degree of air flow rate-pressure coupling in different working areas of air compressor is analyzed. A decoupling control algorithm based on the active disturbance rejection control is then designed to realize precise regulation of air pressure and flow rate. Finally, experiments are conducted on a domestic 80kW fuel cell engine, and the effectiveness of the control algorithm is validated. The experimental results indicate that the designed control algorithm has strong flow rate-pressure decoupling ability with fast response and high control accuracy.
