archives@tulane.edu / This dissertation is a detailed scientific study concerning a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, which is coupled to a DC-to-DC converter as the power processor, serving as a power source. The novel aspect of the dissertation is the use of a new controller or nonlinear observer to predict parameter estimation of the fuel cell and the DC-to-DC converter as the load potential changes for the automated control system. Nonlinear control algorithms, which include nonlinear observers, were developed for such systems. / 1 / Sean
