Sumario:This research presents and compares the outcomes of experimental implementations of different fuzzy logic control structures for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). These devices are well known for their capability to transform chemical energy into electrical with low emissions. Commonly, a PEMFC has a linkage with a boost converter which allows a suitable end-user voltage through a nonlinear control law. Hence, the contribution in this sense is the experimental comparison of two fuzzy logic strategies known as type-1 and type-2 that were implemented in a PEMFC system. The approaches were embedded in a control board dSPACE 1102 which also has the capability to acquire data. The contrast of results showed capabilities improvement against disturbances in terms of error reduction, control signal, and robustness.
