“…As the different sources are interconnected through DC/DC converters, the EMS has to be realized via these converters. During the last two decades, intensive studies have been carried out to develop more compact, more efficient and more targeted DC/DC converter topologies and control methods [10,13,98,101,102].…”

Since the last two decades, microgrid, as one typical structure in smart grid framework, has been receiving increasing attention in the world. Meanwhile, fuel cell (FC), as one promising power source, has redrawn the attention of both academia and industry since the beginning of 21th century. Some encouraging achievements in FC technology have been realized thanks to the efforts taken in the last years. Due to this, it is seen that FC, as a clean and efficient energy source, is penetrating into different fields. Among the applications, integrating FCs into microgrids has shown interesting advantages on improving the performance of microgrids and promoting the use of the hydrogen energy. Some ongoing projects have shown that FCs of different power scales can be integrated into microgrids smartly and in different manners. Along with the advantages carried by the combination of the two technologies, many challenges lying on multiple domains are faced in the process. The challenges can be from the FC, the microgrid, and the integration of these two technologies. In this review paper, the advantages of integrating FCs into microgrids are summarized after recalling the knowledge background of FC. The challenges and ongoing researches on FCs and FCs based microgrids are then reviewed. Based on the analysis, the research directions are then extracted in view of the challenges.

“…A quintessential example was described by Motapon et al who introduced the frequency decoupling and FLC, which ensures the primary power source to afford the load demands in low frequency; meanwhile, the auxiliary power sources respond for load demands in high frequency part to prolong fuel cell lifetime by reducing the dynamics stress on PEM fuel cell system. An EMS with Lure‐Postnikov–type Lyapunov function implemented in cascade mode was employed to manage hybrid power system composed of a fuel cell and an ultracapacitor, and the stack lifetime was increased by determining fuel cell system taking care of nominal load bus demands while ultracapacitor responds to a transient part. A fuzzy EMS based on lifetime extending proposes a lifetime function of temperature for predicting the lifetime and selecting the basis of rules …”

Summary This work aims to construct an efficient and robust fuel cell/battery hybrid operating system for a household application. The ability to dispatch the power demands, sustain the state of charge (SOC) of battery, optimize the power consumption, and more importantly, ensure the durability as well as extend the lifetime of a fuel cell system is the basic requirements of the hybrid operating system. New power management strategy based on fuzzy logical combined state machine control is developed, and its effectiveness is compared with various strategies such as dynamic programming (DP), state machine control, and fuzzy logical control with simulation. Experimental results are also presented, except for DP because of difficulties in achieving real‐time implementation and much faster response to load variation. The given current from the energy management system (EMS) as a reference of the fuel cell output current is determined by filtering out various harmful signals. The new power management strategy is applied to a 1‐kW stationary fuel cell/battery hybrid system. Results show that the fuel cell hybrid system can run much smoothly with prolonged lifetime.

“…Ou et al [14] applied a smart damping controller for the static synchronous compensator to reduce the power fluctuations and damping in a hybrid energy microgrid. Mane et al [15] proposed an improved Lyapunov controller operated in cascade mode to control a hybrid energy microgrid of fuel and an ultracapacitor. Bahrami et al [16] modified the traditional demand response programs for multiple energy carriers to transfer into an energy center.…”

With the development of renewable energy technology and communication technology in recent years, many residents now utilize renewable energy devices in their residences with energy storage systems. We have full confidence in the promising prospects of sharing idle energy with others in a community. However, it is a great challenge to share residents’ energy with others in a community to minimize the total cost of all residents. In this paper, we study the problem of energy management and task scheduling for a community with renewable energy and residential cogeneration, such as residential combined heat and power system (resCHP) to pay the least electricity bill. We take elastic and inelastic load demands into account which are delay intolerant and delay tolerant tasks in the community. The minimum cost problem of a non-cooperative community is extracted into a random non-convex optimization problem with some physical constraints. Our objective is to minimize the time-average cost for each resident in the community, including the cost of the external grid and natural gas. The Lyapunov optimization theory and a primal-dual gradient method are adopted to tackle this problem, which needs no future data and has low computational complexity. Furthermore, we design a cooperative renewable energy sharing algorithm based on State-action-reward-state-action (Sarsa) Algorithm, in the condition that each residence in the community is able to communicate with its neighbors by a central controller. Finally, extensive simulations are presented to validate the proposed algorithms by using practical data.
