In this work, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is used to electric energy supply to a permanent magnet DC motor in a sustainable way and the inlet air flow in the cathode is manipulated to ensure the PEM fuel cells efficient operation. A boost-type DC/DC converter is connected to the PEMFC, it is used with a PI linear control loop to regulate the speed of the DC motor under some possible load disturbances. In addition, a nonlinear sliding mode control (SMC) is designed for regulated the excess oxygen ratio considering constant the temperature and humidity of membrane, to achieve the PEM full cell operate in the ohmic region of the polarization curve, to avoid the oxygen starvation at the cathode and to prevent damage to fuel cell components. The results are validated using the internal models of the PEMFC and the power electronics from SimPowerSystems library of Matlab/Simulink.
