They are also considered to be the energy source of the twenty-first century. However, fuel cell systems have non-linear output characteristics because of their input variations, which causes a significant loss in the overall system output. Thus, aiming to optimize their outputs, fuel cells are usually coupled with a controlled electronic actuator (DC-DC boost converter) that offers highly regulated output voltage. High-order sliding mode (HOSM) control has been effectively used for power electronic converters due to its high tracking accuracy, design simplicity, and robustness. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method based on a combination of reference current estimator (RCE) and high-order prescribed convergence law (HO-PCL) for a PEM fuel cell power system. The proposed MPPT method is implemented practically on a hardware 360W FC-42/HLC evaluation kit. The obtained experimental results demonstrate the success of the proposed method in extracting the maximum power from the fuel cell with high tracking performance.This work was partially supported by Eusko Jaurlaritza/Gobierno Vasco [grant number SMAR3NAK ELKARTEK KK-2019/00051]; the Provincial Council of Alava (DFA) [grant number CONAVAUTIN 2] (Collaboration Agreement).MDPI2021202120202020info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/49627reponame:Addi.
