A novel hybrid MPPT controller based on bond graph and fuzzy logic in proton exchange membrane fuel cell system: Experimental validation

Traditional MPPT algorithms have demonstrated effective performance relative to their flexibility and simplicity of implementation. However, its main disadvantages are the ineffectiveness and the large oscillations around the maximum power point under rapidly changing operating conditions. In order...
