Dynamic and Transient Analysis of Power Distribution Systems With Fuel Cells—Part II: Control and Stability Enhancement

Model Based Controller Design for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems

“…A few other papers [23], [24] present the experimental study of control strategies, which include parameter estimation and diagnostics. Control and stability enhancement of fuel cells systems [25], [26] is considered by several researchers; in particular investigation of the effect of fuel cells on stability of distribution system is a major research topic in these studies. Reference in [27] describe a simplified fuel-cell model and explains the effect of the mix between fuel cell and gas turbine generation on system stability.…”

The performance of thermal based modified solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) model under different DC load conditions

“…SOFC models, which concentrate on effects of temperature dynamics, were previously investigated in the literature (Sedghisigarchi & Feliachi, 2004;Goel et al, 2006;Wang & Nehrir, 2007a;Wu et al, 2008a;Ren et al, 2010;Gebregergis & Pillay, 2010;Yang et al, 2009). The output power of fuel cell is closely related to the temperature of the fuel cell unit (Sedghisigarchi & Feliachi, 2004).…”

“…In recent years, many dynamic models of SOFC have been reported by researchers (Padulles et al, 2000;Zhu & Tomsovic, 2002;Sedghisigarchi & Feliachi, 2004;Li et al, 2005;Goel et al, 2006;Wang & Nehrir, 2007a). Padulles et al presented a basic SOFC dynamic model which considers only ohmic voltage loss.…”

“…The response of the fuel cell for different load types, which is studied in this paper, has not been previously reported in the literature. Researchers generally examined the fuel cell applications for a single load type such as step load (Sedghisigarchi & Feliachi, 2004;Qi et al, 2006;Wang & Nehrir, 2007b;Wu et al, 2008b;Wang et al, 2008;Chakraborty, 2009), ramp load (Lu et al, 2007) and staircase load (Wang & Nehrir, 2007a;Wu et al, 2008a). Zhang et al, (2008) investigated two load types as step and stair-case.…”

Networked control of Distributed Energy Resources: Application to solid oxide fuel cells

“…Important contributions in this direction include the use of conventional and model-based feedback control algorithms to regulate various types of grid-connected DERs in order to enhance power system stability (e.g., [9], [10], [11], [12]), mitigate power quality problems (e.g., [13]) and improve the continuity of electricity supply (e.g., [14]), as well as the development of various distributed control and coordination architectures using multi-agent based control approaches (e.g., [15], [16], [17], [18]). While the focus of these studies has been mainly on demonstrating the feasibility of the developed control algorithms, the explicit characterization and management of communication constraints in the formulation and solution of the DER control problem have not yet been addressed.…”
