Author(s): M. Tamilarasi and R. Seyezhai

This paper implements the fuzzy logic control technique for the modeling of the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell interfaced with a four-phase coupled IBC (Interleaved Boost Converter). In the modeling part of the PEM fuel cell, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to control, the flow rate of methane in the reformer and then output voltage of IBC is maintained constant by incorporating a FLC. The modeling, control and simulation is achieved for PEM fuel cell interfaced with four-phase coupled IBC. MATLAB simulink and fuzzy logic toolbox are used to check the proposed control algorithms.
