文摘为了同时优化质子交换膜燃料电池(proton exchange membrane fuel cells,PEMFC)系统的效率和输出功率,文章首先建立PEMFC系统的机理模型,并分析系统效率和输出功率特性;其次针对传统灰狼算法(grey wolf optimizer,GWO)的初始化种群不均匀和易出现早熟收敛的问题,引入佳点集种群初始化策略和非线性收敛因子策略,并由此提出一种改进多目标灰狼优化算法(multi-objective grey wolf optimizer,MOGWO),有效改善了灰狼算法的搜索精度和收敛性能;然后针对改进多目标灰狼优化算法求得的Pareto最优解集,使用TOPSIS评价法得出逼近理想解的最佳解,确定PEMFC系统的最佳运行条件;最后对所提出的MOGWO算法进行仿真验证,结果表明该算法能够有效提高PEMFC系统在实际运行中的输出功率和系统效率。
