In recent years, accurate identification of voltage versus current (V–I) characteristics of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has attracted significant attention in the literature. However, the main drawback in accurate modeling is the lack of information about the precise values of the model parameters. In this paper, in order to overcome this drawback a grouping-based global harmony search algorithm, named GGHS, is proposed for parameter identification issue. The proposed algorithm attempts to provide an efficient way in which a new harmony can be properly improvised. In order to study the capability of the proposed algorithm, the results obtained by GGHS are compared with those obtained by two versions of harmony search (HS) algorithms, three versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms, as well as seeker optimization algorithm (SOA). Simulation results accentuate the superiority of the GGHS over the other methods.
