“…The current EMS is mainly applied in hybrid energy systems of fuel cells and batteries, while there are few EMS solutions for MFCS, mainly existing in academic literature. A great quantity of research works on system modeling and simulation of multi-stack energy management have been carried out in recent years [3][4][5]. Li et al [6] proposed a power allocation strategy for incremental output.…”

With the increase of energy transformation and environmental protection awarenesses, fuel cells, as a clean and efficient energy conversion technology, have been widely adopted in transportation and stationary power supply applications. A single fuel cell has a limited power capability. On the other hand, the multiple fuel cells are combined into a multi-stack fuel cell system (MFCS), which provides a high power output and modular design. However, the energy management of such multi-stack systems faces challenges such as uneven power distribution, inconsistent stack life, and low overall efficiency. Current multi-stack fuel cell control systems often optimize single objectives, either efficiency or lifetime balance produce the optimized energy management strategy. This may not suffice for the overall system benefit. For example, if only efficiency is optimized by energy management, the failure to consider lifetime balance may result in uneven life degradation for each fuel cell, and vice versa. To address the above issues, this paper proposes an energy management strategy for multi-stack fuel cell systems that considers dual objectives, which can simultaneously ensure the optimal co-optimization of the output efficiency and stack life for each stack, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and lifetime of the system. The effectiveness and practicality of the proposed energy management control strategy were verified on a 60kW dual-stack PEMFC fixed power generation system developed by SeeEx.

“…Four cases are reported varying the electric efficiency of the cogenerator and the COP of the HTHP for two typical values (0.35 and 0.45, 3 and 4, respectively) to consider the availability of different technologies. el,cog=0.35 is typical for a GT or PAFC, while 0.45 is typical for an ICE or MCFC [29]. COPHTHP=3 is a typical value for newer refrigerant (e.g., R1234ze(E)) while 4 is a typical value for ammonia [30].…”

In this paper, the coupling of a high temperature heat pump with a combined cooling, heat, and power system is investigated. The plant converts the input energy source (natural gas) into electricity and useful thermal energy by means of a cogenerator. Part of the thermal energy feeds an absorption chiller that produces the cooling energy to satisfy the cooling load of an existing industrial building located in northern Italy. The heat pump enhances the low temperature heat from the condenser and absorber of the absorption chiller to high temperature heat to integrate the hot water produced by the cogenerator. The energy performance of the entire plant is analyzed by means of steady-state simulations at both fixed conditions and on an annual operation to meet the heating, cooling, and electric needs of the building varying different parameters and compared to traditional systems for energy production. As the main results, the integrated system provides flexibility and achieves valuable energy performances, in the range of a few tens of percent with respect to benchmark energy production systems.
