Accurate parameter estimation is required to guarantee proper modeling of PEMFCs. However, because PEMFC models are complex, nonlinear, and multivariate in nature, parameter estimation is quite difficult. In order to estimate the linear and nonlinear parameters of a PEMFC model in real time, this work investigates PEMFC models parameters estimation methods with a focus on online identification algorithms, which are thought of as the foundation of designing a global energy management strategy. Various PEMFC models with various classifications and objectives are initially addressed in this regard. The parameters of two well-known semi-empirical models in the literature, including 500 W BCS PEMFC and the 6 kW NedSstack PS6 PEMFC have then been identified using some potential swarm-inspired optimization algorithms for practical applications. Finally, the obtained accomplishments and upcoming difficulties are highlighted.
