Nonlinear Observer Design for PEM Fuel Cell Systems

고분자 연료전지 발전시스템에 대한 비선형 관측기 설계

In this paper, the robust nonlinear observer will be developed for PEM fuel cell system. Nonlinear model of PEM fuel cell system is introduced to study the design problems of observer. Sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the cathode and anode pressures of PEMFC system. And a nonlinear state observer is also designed to estimate the other states such as supply manifold pressure, Oxygen pressure, Hydrogen pressure, return manifold pressure, etc. The validity of the proposed observer will be verified by using Lyapunov's stability analysis method.
