Back stepping Control for Optimal Energy Management in Renewable Energy Systems: Fuel Cell-Based Approach

Abstract

This memory presents an approach for better energy management in renewable energy systems, specifically integrating a fuel cell with DC-DC converters type boost controlled with back stepping control techniques. Fuel cells especially proton exchange membrane fuel cell's (PEMFCs) are a promising source of renewable energy due to their high efficiency and low emissions, but they exhibit irregular behavior, which poses challenges for monitoring and control. The DC/DC converters are essential components for connecting for renewable energy sources to the grid or other loads, providing efficient energy conversion. The back stepping control (BSC), is an iterative design method, which is used to solve the PEMFC nonlinearity dynamics and improve system energy management. By integrating the BCS with DC/DC converters, the proposed approach aims to improve system stability, improve energy conversion efficiency, and maximize the use of renewable energy sources. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach under the disturbances, in achieving optimal energy management in dynamic energy systems demonstrating its potential for real-world applications in sustainable energy production and consumption.
