To improve availability and performance of fuel cells, the operating temperature of a low-power proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack should be controlled within a specified range. This paper introduces the application of model predictive control for a PEMFC temperature, which consists of two actuators including coolant pump and coolant fan. The PEMFC system can be identified off-line, and a predictive control could ensure the desired temperature by adjusting the coolant pump and coolant fan. The simulation tests show the temperature of PEMFC system can be effectively close to the desired setpoint, and it is robust to the disturbance.
