Abstract: The widespread use of Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell for its unique advantages compelled researchers for precise modelling of its characteristics. Since, modelling becomes extremely important for better understanding, simulation, design, analysis and development of high efficiency fuel cell system. However, due to its non-linearity, multivariate and strongly coupled characteristics; mathematical modelling based on empirical equations was widely adopted. But, the shortage of data, complexity in modelling, and number of unknown parameters favored the use of optimization methods. Many optimization methods have been endeavored to model Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell characteristics. However, no prior attempt has been made to consolidate the contributions. Hence, this paper comprehensively describes and discusses the various Artificial Intelligence/bio inspired methods applied for fuel cell parameter estimation problem. The methods background theory and its application to the problem is elaborated. It is envisioned that, this review will be a one stop solution to the researchers and engineers working in the area of fuel cell systems.
