Abstract : Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System (FCS) based power generation is considered for powering electric vehicle in this paper. PEMFCS delivers a fresh and best substitute to the conservative vestige fuel-based methods which is the green future. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method is essential to elicit utmost accessible power from FCS. Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (INC) method is implemented as MPPT technique. In the this work, Brush Less DC (BLDC) motor is connected to load, fed by a Fuel Cell System (FCS) through Boost Converter (BC). The efficient MPPT technique is observed using MATLAB/Simulink.
