Energy Management and Simulation of Photovoltaic/Hydrogen/Battery Hybrid Power System

Abstract

This manuscript focuses on a hybrid power system combining a solar photovoltaic array and energy storage system based on hydrogen technology (fuel cell, hydrogen tank and electrolyzer) and battery. The complete architecture is connected to the national grid through power converters to increase the continuity of power. The proposed hybrid power system is designed to work under classical-based energy management algorithm. According to the proposed algorithm, the PV has the priority in meeting the load demands. The hydrogen technology is utilized to ensure long-term energy balance. The battery is used as a backup and/or high power device to take care of the load following problems of hydrogen technology during transient. The dynamic performance of a hybrid power system is tested under different solar radiation, temperature and load conditions for the simulation of 24 Hrs. The effectiveness of the proposed system in terms of power sharing, grid stability, power quality and voltage regulation is verified by Matlab simulation results.

Energy management in smart grids for the integration of hybrid wind–PV–FC–battery renewable energy resources using multi‐objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO)

“…Battery dynamic range (BDR) is described as the difference between the highest and the least battery stored energy [51] To obtain minimum solutions for this complex optimality search problem, a single combined weighted objective function could be applied to aggregate the features of all the stated objective functions as follows: where α n is the n th weighting parameter for the n th objective function. Therefore, the decision variables can be defined as a vector, i.e. where α d is the weighting variable for the d th dimension and the range of the weighting parameter is selected between a maximum and a minimum value; α d max , α d min .…”

A Constant Grid Interface Current Controller for DC Microgrid

“…A PV panel is comprising a series of solar cells, and PV generation has many advantages over traditional power generation methods, including their quiet operation, the lack of pollution, free natural availability and not requiring fuel. Papers [21][22] describe the non-linear current-voltage relationship of PV arrays. The output voltage of the PV panel, V PV is given by:…”

Enhancing Ni-YSZ Anode Resilience to Environmental Redox Stress with Aluminum Titanate Secondary Phases

“…Solid state electrochemical cells are energy conversion technologies capable of either producing or using electricity to help balance a growing production and consumption mismatch in current renewable power sources. − When run as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), these devices can meet power requirements up to 300 kW and energy conversion efficiencies as high as 90% without the release of pollutants such as NO x and SO x and with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. − The critical components of an SOFC are the electrodes, as these directly determine the device’s performance and durability. Because an SOFC is cycled between room temperature and operating temperatures above 700 °C, the electrode’s thermal expansion must be relatively close to that of the electrolyte to prevent mechanical stress and/or electrode delamination.…”
