Residual Life Prediction of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Based on Improved ESN by Tiejiang YUAN, Rongsheng LI, Jiandong KANG, Huaguang YAN

“…Aiming at the problem that the current residual effective life prediction (RUL) technique for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) has poor prediction effect in the medium and long term, a residual life prediction method based on the Improved Gray Wolf Optimization algorithm (IGWO) and Echo State Network (ESN) is proposed, in which the voltage of the electric stack is firstly selected as a health indicator, and the PEMFC dataset is processed by using convolutional smoothing filtering method to carry out data Smoothing and normalization are used to effectively reduce the interference of outliers on the subsequent model training. …”
