“…MPPT algorithms continuously track and adjust the operating point to ensure the system operates at its highest efficiency. To achieve that, PEMFCs usually interface with DC-DC converters to continuously adjust the input resistance to match with the MPP [33,34]. In this study, the PEMFC is interfaced with a boost converter, as depicted in Figure 2 [35,36].…”

This paper is dedicated to optimizing the functionality of Microgrid-Integrated Charging Stations (MICCS) through the implementation of a new control strategy, specifically the fractional-order proportional-integral (FPI) controller, aided by a hybrid optimization algorithm. The primary goal is to elevate the efficiency and stability of the MICCS-integrated inverter, ensuring its seamless integration into modern energy ecosystems. The MICCS system considered here comprises a PV array as the primary electrical power source, complemented by a proton exchange membrane fuel cell as a supporting power resource. Additionally, it includes a battery system and an electric vehicle charging station. The optimization model is formulated with the objective of minimizing the integral of square errors in both the DC-link voltage and grid current while also reducing total harmonic distortion. To enhance the precision of control parameter estimation, a hybrid of the one-to-one optimizer and sine cosine algorithm (HOOBSCA) is introduced. This hybrid approach improves the exploitation and exploration characteristics of individual algorithms. Different meta-heuristic algorithms are tested against HOOBSCA in different case studies to see how well it tunes FPI settings. Findings demonstrate that the suggested method improves the integrated inverters’ transient and steady-state performance, confirming its improved performance in generating high-quality solutions. The best fitness value achieved by the proposed optimizer was 3.9109, outperforming the other algorithms investigated in this paper. The HOOBSCA-based FPI successfully improved the response of the DC-link voltage, with a maximum overshooting not exceeding 8.5% compared to the other algorithms employed in this study.

In this study, the preparation, characterization, and fuel cell performance tests of high‐performance and low‐cost zirconium phosphate (ZrP)‐additive sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) membranes, which may serve as a substitute for the commercial membrane used in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), were carried out. ZrP‐additive sPES membranes were prepared by solution casting method with different weight ratios (2.5%, 5%, and 9%). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), water uptake capacity (WUc), dynamic mechanical analysis, ion exchange capacity (IEx), degree of hydration, impedance analysis, and oxidative stability were used to characterize the created membranes. Ultimately, single‐cell performance experiments were used to evaluate the membranes' performance in real fuel cell environments. ZrP additive improved the WUc, mechanical properties, IEx, and proton conductivity properties of the membrane. WUc of the membranes enhanced by approximately 94% at 80°C, while the proton conductivity augment by approximately 47% with 9% ZrP by weight. 0.97 meq g−1 IEx was obtained for the sPES, whereas it was obtained as 1.41 meq g−1 for sPES‐9ZrP. Oxidative stability experiments for 120‐h determined that all synthesized membranes had a stable structure, and their weight losses varied between 68% and 85%. The sPES‐9ZrP exhibited very high values at 0.6 V, resulting in a power density of 680 mW cm−2 and a current density of 1100 mA cm−2. The results obtained are quite promising, and sPES and ZrP in composite membrane structures have high synergy.

“…These fuels can either be put directly into the fuel cell or they can be transported via a reformer to obtain liquid hydrogen before being fed right into the fuel cell. [8][9][10] Electrolyte membrane transports protons from the anode to the cathode while the external circuit carries electrons to the cathode. In order to revert to the neutral state because molecules cannot exist in an ionic state in nature, they recombine with other molecules right away.…”

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), one of the many fuel cell varieties on the market, is distinguished by its low temperatures of operation, high reliability, and extended lifespan. The fuel cell system's maximum output can only be achieved at one specific operating point under varying operating circumstances. Hence, it is essential to get the most power possible from the PEMFC for improved functioning and optimal exploitation of grid systems. Thus, the design of a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for a PEMFC power system using an amplified salp swarm optimization (AS2O) algorithm is focused on. Here, an interleaved Luo converter is also used to produce a regulated output voltage with less switching stress and frequency. Moreover, the proposed work intends to effectively satisfy the energy demand of grid systems by obtaining the maximum electrical energy from the PEMFCs with less harmonics and low system complexity. The simulation and performance results of the proposed AS2O‐MPPT controlling model are validated and compared using several parameters using MATLAB/Simulink tool. Using the proposed controlling technique, the total harmonics distortion is reduced up to 1.16%, with the settling time of 0.0062 s, rise time of 0.0010 s, and peak overshoot of 0.255 W.
