A decoupling control system is designed by a simple tuning-free method for the multi-input multi-output model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The decoupler minimizes the interactions among the loops and is designed by estimating the relative normalized gain array and dynamic relative gain array for the closed-loop model. The proportional integral controller settings are estimated using the partial model matching method. The performances of the proposed method are studied based on closed-loop performances of control variables and time integral errors that are compared with the synthesis method. The proposed controller performs better in terms of integral of time-weighted absolute error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
