“…Fuel cells deliver direct current, and their voltage varies, among others with current and age. On top of that, fuel cells do not handle reverse currents and ripple currents well [63]. Consequently, power conditioning equipment is necessary for an adequate and stable power source.…”

The marine industry must reduce emissions to comply with recent and future regulations. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are seen as a promising option for efficient power generation on ships with reduced emissions. However, it is unclear how the devices can be integrated and how this affects the operation of the ship economically and environmentally. This paper reviews studies that consider SOFC for marine applications. First, this article discusses noteworthy developments in SOFC systems, including power plant options and fuel possibilities. Next, it presents the design drivers for a marine power plant and explores how an SOFC system performs. Hereafter, the possibilities for integrating the SOFC system with the ship are examined, also considering economic and environmental impact. The review shows unexplored potential to successfully integrate SOFC with thermal and electrical systems in marine vessels. Additionally, it is identified that there are still possibilities to improve marine SOFC systems, for which a holistic approach is needed for design at cell, stack, module, and system level. Nevertheless, it is expected that hybridisation is needed for a technically and economically feasible ship. Despite its high cost, SOFC systems could significantly reduce GHG, NOX, SOX, PM, and noise emissions in shipping.

“…In addition, a loosely coupled system with practical and active strategy of control is implemented to ensure the capability of the micro turbine and fuel cells, which is proven in this study. Yet, based on the references in [4], [5], Wen et al proposed a power control approach that employs the inverter along with the capacitor [6]. In [7], a dynamic model of SOFC is presented for addressing the issue in distribution system.…”

As the surrounding problems of the states and the requirement to meet out the increasing energy demand are increasing gradually generation of distributed nature system based various types of clean power systems are being erected increasingly to manage the load side energy requirements and reduce the environmental issues. Fuel cell is the latest technology that can use as DG system and solve the above mention issues. In this research work, a grid-connected dynamic state of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system is represented. The fuel cell stack DC voltage needs to be converted and stepped-up to match the load side grid. So, a DC-AC voltage source converter is utilized to for interfacing the fuel cells with the load side grid, and the transformer is installed for increasing the potential level to match the voltage grid. Two types of control strategies are presented (PI and hysteresis current controller) to control and shape the inverter output voltage, hence provides decoupled real and reactive energy. The entire work is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink.
