This paper presents the mathematical modeling of metal hydride based hydrogen storage bed. The novelty of this research work is the identification of transfer function for the dynamic discharge process of hydrogen storage bed is carried out using system identification tool box. A Fuzzy PID controller is modeled to regulate the pressure rate of hydrogen storage bed using MATLAB Simulink toolbox. The proposed controller reduces the complexity in controlling the pressure rate of hydrogen storage bed during desorption process for an adequate use in fuel cell and in other applications. To validate the reliability of the hydrogen storage bed model, the obtained results are verified with the results of other literature. The exact system transfer function model chosen is Box-Jenkin model, based on the simulated results of different black box model structures for the parameters such as percentage of fitness, final prediction error and the cost function. Usually, for the safer discharge of hydrogen gas, the classical PID controller is employed to control the pressure by manipulating the heating temperature of the storage bed. In order to have a better control, a Fuzzy-PID controller is proposed in this study. The proposed controller produces improved time domain response and better performance compared to the conventional PID controller. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
