Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithm Based on Fusion Optimization for
Fuel Cell Gas Supply System Control
Abstract
In a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system, the flow of the
air and hydrogen is the main factor affecting the output characteristics
of the PEMFC, and there is a coordination problem in the flow control of
both. To ensure the real-time gas supply in the fuel cell and improve
the output power and economic benefits of the system, a deep
reinforcement learning (DRL) controller based on fusion optimization
with deterministic policy gradient and a control optimization strategy
based on net power optimization are proposed in this paper. The
experimental results show that the control algorithm proposed in this
paper can effectively improve the dynamic performance and steady-state
performance of the system, which is embodied in the average 12.5%
increase in the dynamic performance compared with the fuzzy PID control
and average 99.54% increase in the steady-state performance compared
with the traditional DRL control.
