Abstract

En 中文
The electrochemical model of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer consists of a set of different unknown parameters, and identification of these parameters is needed. However, obtaining the optimum values of these parameters is critical, and this involves a complex, multi-variate, non-linear, and multimodal optimisation problem. In this article, a novel model parameter estimation problem for a PEM electrolyzer with eight unknown model parameters is formulated and solved using modified honey badger algorithm (MHBA). A mean squared error-based objective function is formulated and considered as the mean squared error (MSE) between the experimental voltage and the estimated voltage using MHBA algorithm. The accuracy of the proposed model is validated using polarization curves (J-V curve). It is found that the MHBA outperforms with a good mapping between experimental and estimated voltage. Also, the reliability and robustness for parameter estimation algorithm is validated considering two case studies with four different operating conditions. Additionally, the results obtained using MHBA are compared to those obtained with other competing algorithms. A statistical study including different statistical indices is also carried out to prove the robustness for the proposed approach. The results show that the minimum obtained values of MSE for different operating conditions are 8.73E-06, 8.75E-06, 6.17E-05 and 6.44E-05. Box plot study and convergence curves have also been drawn to check the effectiveness of the algorithm. Furthermore, to prove the superiority of the proposed approach, the PEM electrolyzer's performance is explored at different operating conditions, such as operating temperatures and output hydrogen pressures.(c) 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
