Survey on H∞ Robust Control of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Excessive use of fuel or being underutilized will make the actual performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) affected by a lot, and at the same time, in order to meet the demands of DC load voltage, a controller of the SOFC that is subjected to small varying loads is proposed on the basis of H∞ c...
