The article discusses the innovative work conducted at NIT Warangal on 'Identification and Control Strategies to Improve the Performance of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell Systems'. This project, funded by DST-SERB, focuses on the crucial role of PEM fuel cells in the energy landscape, particularly in industries like transportation and energy storage. PEM fuel cells are highlighted for their ability to generate electricity through hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water as a by-product, thus offering a zero-emission energy source. The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining and controlling key parameters like the Oxygen Excess Ratio (OER) and stack voltage for optimal PEM fuel cell performance. Optimization techniques such as Genetic Algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization are discussed to enhance efficiency and reliability. The integration of PEM fuel cells into electric vehicles and the energy sector is lauded for its benefits in extending driving ranges, fast refuelling, and improving grid stability. The article also highlights the research contributions of Dr. G. Uday Bhaskar Babu and research scholar Mullapudi Siva in Chemical Engineering Department towards proposing effective control strategies for PEM fuel cells. Their work has been recognized in prestigious journals and is seen as a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions. Overall, the article portrays a positive sentiment towards the potential of PEM fuel cells in transforming energy solutions and addressing environmental challenges.
