Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are promising energy converters but still suffer from a too short life duration. Applying Prognostics and Health Management seems to be a great solution to overcome that issue. More precisely, developing prognostics to anticipate and try to avoid failures is a critical challenge. To tackle this problem, a hybrid prognostics is proposed. It aims at pre...
