“…PI controllers have been applied to control electric emulators based on buck converters. This controller creates a control signal for a pulse width modulator (PWM), which provides the gate signal pulses of a MOSFET switch by comparing the output voltage to the PEMFC's reference voltage [49].…”

“…In [59][60][61]63,66], electrical emulators have been developed for 10 W, 1.2 kW, 3 kW, and 5 kW PEMFC systems. Additionally, the reported controllers for electric emulators have been realized on hardware platforms based on DC-DC buck converters, the control strategies of which are mainly based on PI controllers [49] and fuzzy control [54], among others. This kind of system is typically implemented on digital platforms using digital signal processors (DSPs) or dSPACE control boards [10,14,57,62] and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) systems [61].…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) emulators are feasible solutions for conducting low-cost and safe developments. These types of systems have attracted the attention of global PEMFC manufacturers and research groups over the last few years. Owing to these emulators, it has been possible to develop and optimize PEMFC systems including power electronics and control without the need to use or damage a real PEMFC. However, despite the importance of PEMFC emulators in research, reported studies on this topic remain scarce. For this reason, this review describes the main characteristics and different types of PEMFC emulators (i.e., pseudo and electronic emulators), providing a basis for new emulator prototypes. Additionally, in this paper, the mathematical models that complement PEMFC emulators are presented (i.e., these models and emulators generate reliable measurements compared with real PEMFC systems). Examples of electronic circuit designs based on mathematical models (electrical and heat) are also presented to give some insight into the construction of new PEMFC emulators. Therefore, this paper proposes tools for the construction of new PEMFC emulators to boost the development of this technology.
