Abstract

The proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell thermal management system is required to remove the waste heat to ensure high efficiency operation within a safe temperature range. This paper aims to establish a control-oriented model using a static electrochemical model couple to a dynamic thermal model, and design the optimal power module to achieve temperature decoupling control. In addition, backstepping method and active disturbance rejection control is proposed to adjust the mass flow rate of the water pump and fan respectively, achieving stable and fast temperature control and greatly reducing parasitic power of the system. Finally, the co-simulation results between Matlab and AMEsim are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
