%0 Journal Article %T Adjusting Parameters of Lead Lag Controller Using Simulated Annealing to Control Fuel Cell Voltage %A Noradin Ghadimi %A Mohammad Marefati %A Rasoul Ghadimi %J Research Journal of Information Technology %D 2012 %I %X In this study, a Lead Lag controller is introduced for fuel cell. This fuel cell is of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) type which will be introduced and implemented, and then to control the voltage of the fuel cell during load changes, an optimal controller is proposed based on Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. Fuel cell output voltage should be kept in a constant value during the load variations. In order to use this algorithm, at first, the problem is formulated as an optimization problem including the objective function and constraints, then SA method is utilized to achieve the most suitable controller. Simulation are performed for load changes in time domain. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller and its accuracy. %K Lag lead controller %K optimal control %K PEMFC %K simulated annealing %U http://www.maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=RJIT&no=183&abs=05
