Temperature control is undoubtedly one of the important challenges in open-cathode fuel cell systems. Due to cost considerations, it is traditionally achieved by constant-speed operation of the fans. In this paper, a state feedback temperature controller, combined with a Kalman filter to mitigate the noisy temperature measurements is designed and implemented. The controller-filter set facilitates robust thermal management with respect to model uncertainties and measurement noise. The proposed temperature control not only manages to track the fuel cell temperature reference, it can also be used to stabilize the output voltage. Voltage regulation is of great importance for open-cathode fuel cells as it guarantees a predictable and fixed fuel cell output voltage for given current values in spite of internal and external disturbances. The controllers were implemented experimentally and the results show promising performances in regulating the reference temperature and voltage despite model uncertainties and disturbances.

This paper experimentally investigates the dynamic response of a single fuel cell under various dynamic loadings with different operating conditions. Three kinds of loadings are applied to the PEM fuel cell and they are simulated NEDC mode, simulated 10/15 mode, and modified mode. The operating conditions are set at different cell temperatures, humidification temperatures, and stoichiometric rates during each test to study the effects of these parameters on the cell performance of a PEM fuel cell. The cell performance is found increased with increasing cell temperature in the range of 45-65°C. On the other hand, there exist optimal conditions for the humidification temperature and the stoichiometric rate at 70°C/60°C and 1.5/2.0 on the anode and cathode sides, respectively.
