Özet

The single-stack fuel cell system is utilized extensively in several industries. Unfortunately, the main problems are its low efficiency and durability, and unsatisfied reliability, especially in the high-power situation. Due to its significant performance, which includes high output power, durability, and reliability, multi-stack fuel cell systems (MFCS) are becoming more and more attractive. In this study, it is aimed to develope a control algorithm in parallel structure in the Matlab/Simulink software for the efficient use of hydrogen fuel consumption of PEM fuel cells – based boost converter using PI controller with PSO method. Models of both single and parallel connected PEM fuel cells were created in Matlab using mathematical equations in this paper. The analysis made in the study were applied for both models. PEMFCs were connected in parallel and only one DC-DC converter was used for the entire system. According to the load change, the required number of cells are activated due to control algorithm to provide the required power. As a result, the proposed method reduces hydrogen consumption by approximately 5 times under the same load, while optimized parameters reduce output voltage oscillation.
