Abstract

This study proposes a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to enhance power extraction performance in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems operating under dynamic and varying environmental conditions. The proposed method is designed to optimize the system's operating point to ensure that the power generated by the fuel cell is fully utilized. In this research, the PSO algorithm is integrated with an Interleaved Boost–Buck Converter (IBBC), which functions to reduce current ripple and improve the stability of the output power in the energy conversion system. This integration is expected to provide a faster and more efficient system response in adjusting to changes in operational conditions. One of the main challenges in implementing MPPT in PEMFC-based systems is the nonlinear characteristics of PEMFC itself, which are highly influenced by various external parameters such as operating temperature, hydrogen pressure, and membrane water content. Variations in these parameters can cause fluctuations in output voltage and current, making the maximum power point tracking process more complex. Therefore, an adaptive optimization method with good convergence ability is required. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed PSO method achieves a tracking accuracy of up to 99.96% with a settling time of 2 seconds under varying membrane water content conditions. The PSO approach also outperforms the Fuzzy Logic and Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) methods. These findings confirm that the integration of PSO and IBBC significantly improves both the accuracy and speed of MPP tracking in PEMFC systems.

Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) enrichment is known to enhance combustion efficiency in diesel engines; however, its application as an emulsion is restricted by phase instability in the absence of chemical surfactants. This study investigates the stability and temperature characteristics of non-surfactant emulsions produced using an inline mixer known as the Real-Time Emulsion Supply System (RTES). Four emulsion types were formulated using water and aqueous H2O2 (5-15 vol%) as the dispersed phase, with neat diesel (B0) and biodiesel (B35) serving as the continuous phase: water-in-B0 (WD), H2O2-in-B0 (HD), water-in-B35 (WB), and H2O2-in-B35 (HB). The emulsions were prepared using RTES with a residence time of 180 s. During the preparation, the temperature was continuously recorded using a Graphtec GL840 data logger. The phase separation was monitored over 600 s using a Canon-EM3 camera. Results demonstrate that B35-based emulsions exhibit higher stability compared to B0-based emulsions. The stability tests showed distinct phase separation ratios for each formulation: 12.67% for WD, 10.67% for HD, 4.67% for WB, and 4.27% for HB. Meanwhile, the temperature rise (ΔT) varied slightly by formulation, ranging from 1.67-1.97 °C for WD and HD, and from 2.33-2.73 °C for WB and HB.
