Abstract

Recently, the contribution of fuel cell systems in electricity generation systems as an alternative to the conventional fossil fuel-powered plants has been increased due to their merits such as significant efficiency, reliability, cleanness, and fast response. In this study, a new optimization method for accurately determining the parameters of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) has been introduced. In which, the minimization of sum of squared error (SSE) between the estimated output voltage data and the actual measured can be realized through employing the Flying Foxes Optimization (FFO). To demonstrate the efficacy of the suggested algorithm, we tested it on multiple unique case studies. The outcomes were then benchmarked against several established optimization methods, such as are gray wolf optimizer (GWO), tree growth algorithm (TGA), harris hawks optimization (HHO), and farmland fertility optimizer (FFO). Furthermore, a statistical analysis has been investigated to validate proposed FFO algorithm's strength in addressing the optimization challenges associated with PEMFC parameter identification. The attainments showed the better superiority of the proposed FFO compared to other techniques in optimally identifying PEMFC parameters.
