PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems: A Multidisciplinary Study of Modelling, Simulation, Fault Diagnosis and Advanced Control

摘要

“PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems”, edited by Marta S. Basualdo and Diego Feroldi (French-Argentine International Center of Information and Systems Sciences, Argentina) and Rachid Outbib (LSIS-Domaine Universitaire de Saint-Jér?me, Marseille, France), who are experts in simulation, control and fault detection of large systems, is part of the series Green Energy and Technology. This book presents some typical problems encountered in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems and proposes alternative ways of operation using conventional and advanced control techniques.The book is divided into two main parts. The first part consists of eight chapters and is dedicated to fuel cell systems in terms of modelling, simulation, advanced control and diagnosis; the second part consists of six chapters and deals with fuel processor systems for the production of hydrogen from bio-ethanol. The writing style is clear and the authors give a detailed description of the systems and processes at the beginning of each chapter, which allows even the non-specialist reader to easily follow the concepts under discussion. However, in some of the chapters, prior knowledge of the specific software packages used is needed.
