What is FC based hybrid system?

In FC-based hybrid systems, FC is used as main source of energy and other element like battery or UC is used as auxiliary source. The potential FC-based hybrid configurations are FC–battery–UC, FC–battery and FC–UC [ 5, 6 ]. In general, FC is a device that converts chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction.

What is the operating range of FC unit?

The operating range of the FC unit is defined as 20–50 V by setting up the reference current range 50–250 A. If the current requirement is below than 50 A, the FC voltage will be at 50 V. It should be noted that from 50–250 A, FC will follow the V–I characteristics curve. This definition is for ensuring the FC operation in the ohmic region.

What are the disadvantages of a low-temperature fuel cell (FC)?

Although having the benefit of cleanliness, modularity and fuel supply, FC has a major drawback of having slow dynamic response. Moreover, the existing low-temperature FCs such as PEMFC modules have low output voltage. Thus, it cannot be used for medium-scale power generation.

What is the current distribution between FC & UC using LQR controller?

The load current was 16 at DC bus voltage of 80 V A, while with the step change in load voltage from 80 V to 100 V at t = 6 s, the load current increased from 16 A to 20 A. The same figure also illustrates the load distribution between the FC and UC using LQR controller.

Why is the FC source voltage stable at 50 volts?

The FC source voltage was stable at 50 V due to the fact that the maximum current supplied by the FC unit was below 50 A. The operating range of the FC unit is defined as 20–50 V by setting up the reference current range 50–250 A. If the current requirement is below than 50 A, the FC voltage will be at 50 V.
