Model-identification and parameter extraction of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a well-defined procedure for improving the PEMFC efficiency for designing and control purposes. This paper presents a new version of the improved fluid search optimization algorithm for optimal...

A new methodology has been proposed for optimal size selection of a hybrid energy system (HES) including lithium-ion battery and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell to supply the driving force of a locomotive. The main purpose is to minimize the total cost of HES with different...

In this paper, a multi-objective optimization method has been established on a hybrid PV, wind, fuel cell, and battery system. The optimization is based on three models including energy supply reliability, electricity efficiency, and capital cost of the hybrid system. A new model of the Elephant...
