An eco-friendly and renewable energy source, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells offer various advantages such as stability and efficiency. The present study aims to control output voltage of PEM fed basic series positive super voltage lift luo (PSVLL) converter. The model, which consists of a fuel cell and a basic series PSVLL converter, was designed in Matlab/Simulink simulation environment. The control of the PSVLL converter output voltage was performed using an interval type-2 takagi-sugeno-kang fuzzy logic (IT2TSKFL) and type-1 takagi-sugeno-kang fuzzy logic (T1TSKFL) controllers comparatively. The simulation study results demonstrated that the PEM fuel cell fed basic series PSVLL converter reached optimal current and voltage values with IT2TSKFL under nominal and different operating conditions. Moreover, IT2TSKFL improved average settling time of control system by 22.335% compared to T1TSKFL controller.
