Modeling, Control and Power Management Strategy of a Grid connected Hybrid En...IJECEIAES
This paper presents the detailed modeling of various components of a grid connected hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage tank with a power flow controller. Also, a valve controlled by the proposed controller decides how much amount of fuel is consumed by fuel cell according to the load demand. In this paper fuel cell is used instead of battery bank because fuel cell is free from pollution. The control and power management strategies are also developed. When the PV power is sufficient then it can fulfill the load demand as well as feeds the extra power to the electrolyzer. By using the electrolyzer, the hydrogen is generated from the water and stored in storage tank and this hydrogen act as a fuel to SOFC. If the availability of the power from the PV system cannot fulfill the load demand, then the fuel cell fulfills the required load demand. The SOFC takes required amount of hydrogen as fuel, which is controlled by the PID controller through a valve. Effectiveness of this technology is verified by the help of computer simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment under various loading conditions and promising results are obtained.

Single core configurations of saturated core fault current limiter performanc...IJECEIAES
Economic growth with industrialization and urbanization lead to an extensive increase in power demand. It forced the utilities to add power generating facilities to cause the necessary demand-generation balance. The bulk power generating stations, mostly interconnected, with the penetration of distributed generation result in an enormous rise in the fault level of power networks. It necessitates for electrical utilities to control the fault current so that the existing switchgear can continue its services without upgradation or replacement for reliable supply. The deployment of fault current limiter (FCL) at the distribution and transmission networks has been under investigation as a potential solution to the problem. A saturated core fault current limiter (SCFCL) technology is a smart, scalable, efficient, reliable, and commercially viable option to manage fault levels in existing and future MV/HV supply systems. This paper presents the comparative performance analysis of two single-core SCFCL topologies impressed with different core saturations. It has demonstrated that the single AC winding configuration needs more bias power for affecting the same current limiting performance with an acceptable steady-state voltage drop contribution. The fault state impedance has a transient nature, and the optimum bias selection is a critical design parameter in realizing the SCFCL applications.

The current lifestyle of humanity relies heavily on energy consumption, thusrendering it an inevitable need. An ever-increasing demand for energy hasresulted from the increasing population. Most of this demand is met by thetraditional sources that continuously deplete and raise significantenvironmental issues. The existing power structure of developing nations isaging, unstable, and unfeasible, further prolonging the problem.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of power quality for static synchronous compensator on the distribution power system (DSTATCOM) when different types of energy sources are used to supply the DC link channel of DSTATCOM. These types of power supplies have a different effect on the compensation of DSTATCOM due to operation nature of these sources. The dynamic response of the DSTATCOM has investigated that produced by individual and hybrid energy sources to evaluate the influence of these sources in terms of time response, compensation process and reduce the harmonics of current source. Three cases have been considered in this study. First the photovoltaic (PV) cells alone, second the battery storage alone, and third a hybrid coordinated design between (PV cells with battery storage) is used. A boost DC-DC circuit has connected to a photovoltaic cell with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) while DC-DC buck-boost circuit is used with a battery. High coordination between PV and battery circuits in the hybrid system is used to improve the performance. A synchronous reference frame (SRF) with a unit vector has used to control the DSTATCOM. The simulation results show that the hybrid design has a superiority response compared to the individual sources.

The most important components of the distributed generation frameworks is the GTIs which is an interface amidst the utility and the source of energy. The recent years have seen an increased interest in the design and usage of GTIs due to its smaller weight and size, low cost and higher efficiency. But the problem of leakage currents in the transformerless inverter that is dependant on its topology and control scheme needs to be looked into carefully. Also, the high performance of the GTI requires a stringent control and various control systems are being developed and applied to the GTIs. This paper reviews the various topologies that are classified based on the attributes of the leakage current and the method of decoupling. Further it reviews and compares the different control techniques applied to the GTIs with respect to the frame of reference, controller, modulation technique and the control parameters considered.
Stochastic control for optimal power flow in islanded microgridIJECEIAES
The problem of optimal power flow (OPF) in an islanded mircrogrid (MG) for hybrid power system is described. Clearly, it deals with a formulation of an analytical control model for OPF. The MG consists of wind turbine generator, photovoltaic generator, and diesel engine generator (DEG), and is in stochastic environment such as load change, wind power fluctuation, and sun irradiation power disturbance. In fact, the DEG fails and is repaired at random times so that the MG can significantly influence the power flow, and the power flow control faces the main difficulty that how to maintain the balance of power flow? The solution is that a DEG needs to be scheduled. The objective of the control problem is to find the DEG output power by minimizing the total cost of energy. Adopting the Rishel’s famework and using the Bellman principle, the optimality conditions obtained satisfy the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Finally, numerical examples and sensitivity analyses are included to illustrate the importance and effectiveness of the proposed model.
Fuzzy logic control of hybrid systems including renewable energy in microgrids IJECEIAES
With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is micro grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a fuzzy logic control of isolated hybrid systems (HRES) including renewable energy in micro-grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.

One of the main technological and inexpensive tools in this regard is the optimal generation scheduling of microgrid. As a primary optimization tool in the planning and operation fields, optimal operation has an undeniable part in the power system. This paper reviews and evaluates the optimal operation approaches mostly related to microgrids. In this work, the foremost optimal generation scheduling approaches are compared in terms of their objective functions, techniques and constraints. To conclude, a few fundamental challenges occurring from the latest optimal generation scheduling techniques in microgrids are addressed.

A NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING ANN TECHNIQUE FO...IJERD Editor
The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a Micro grid-connected hybrid generation
system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available
renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with
standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system.
The inverter converts the DC output from non-conventional energy into useful AC power for the
connected load. This hybrid system operates under normal conditions which include normal room temperature
in the case of solar energy and normal wind speed at plain area in the case of wind energy. However, designing
an optimal micro grid is not an easy task, due to the fact that primary energy carriers are changeable and
uncontrollable, as is the demand. Traditional design and optimization tools, developed for controlled power
sources, cannot be employed here. Simulation methods seem to be the best solution.
The dynamic model of the proposed system is first elaborated in the stationary reference frame and
then transformed into the synchronous orthogonal reference frame. The transformed variables are used in
control of the voltage source converter as the heart of the interfacing system between DG resources and utility
grid. By setting an appropriate compensation current references from the sensed load currents in control circuit
loop of DG, the active, reactive, and harmonic load current components will be compensated with fast dynamic
response, thereby achieving sinusoidal grid currents in phase with load voltages, while required power of the
load is more than the maximum injected power of the DG to the grid. In addition, the proposed control method
of this paper does not need a phase-locked loop in control circuit and has fast dynamic response in providing
active and reactive power components of the grid-connected loads.

Power quality improvement based on hybrid coordinated design of renewable ene...IJECEIAES
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of power quality for static synchronous compensator on the distribution power system (DSTATCOM) when different types of energy sources are used to supply the DC link channel of DSTATCOM. These types of power supplies have a different effect on the compensation of DSTATCOM due to operation nature of these sources. The dynamic response of the DSTATCOM has investigated that produced by individual and hybrid energy sources to evaluate the influence of these sources in terms of time response, compensation process and reduce the harmonics of current source. Three cases have been considered in this study. First the photovoltaic (PV) cells alone, second the battery storage alone, and third a hybrid coordinated design between (PV cells with battery storage) is used. A boost DC-DC circuit has connected to a photovoltaic cell with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) while DC-DC buck-boost circuit is used with a battery. High coordination between PV and battery circuits in the hybrid system is used to improve the performance. A synchronous reference frame (SRF) with a unit vector has used to control the DSTATCOM. The simulation results show that the hybrid design has a superiority response compared to the individual sources.

The most important components of the distributed generation frameworks is the GTIs which is an interface amidst the utility and the source of energy. The recent years have seen an increased interest in the design and usage of GTIs due to its smaller weight and size, low cost and higher efficiency. But the problem of leakage currents in the transformerless inverter that is dependant on its topology and control scheme needs to be looked into carefully. Also, the high performance of the GTI requires a stringent control and various control systems are being developed and applied to the GTIs. This paper reviews the various topologies that are classified based on the attributes of the leakage current and the method of decoupling. Further it reviews and compares the different control techniques applied to the GTIs with respect to the frame of reference, controller, modulation technique and the control parameters considered.
Stochastic control for optimal power flow in islanded microgridIJECEIAES
The problem of optimal power flow (OPF) in an islanded mircrogrid (MG) for hybrid power system is described. Clearly, it deals with a formulation of an analytical control model for OPF. The MG consists of wind turbine generator, photovoltaic generator, and diesel engine generator (DEG), and is in stochastic environment such as load change, wind power fluctuation, and sun irradiation power disturbance. In fact, the DEG fails and is repaired at random times so that the MG can significantly influence the power flow, and the power flow control faces the main difficulty that how to maintain the balance of power flow? The solution is that a DEG needs to be scheduled. The objective of the control problem is to find the DEG output power by minimizing the total cost of energy. Adopting the Rishel’s famework and using the Bellman principle, the optimality conditions obtained satisfy the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Finally, numerical examples and sensitivity analyses are included to illustrate the importance and effectiveness of the proposed model.
Fuzzy logic control of hybrid systems including renewable energy in microgrids IJECEIAES
With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is micro grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a fuzzy logic control of isolated hybrid systems (HRES) including renewable energy in micro-grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.

A review of optimal operation of microgrids IJECEIAES
The term microgrid refers to small-scale power grid that can operate autonomously or in concurrence with the area’s main electrical grid. The intermittent characteristic of DGs which defies the power quality and voltage manifests the requirement for new planning and operation approaches for microgrids. Consequently, conventional optimization methods in new power systems have been critically biased all through the previous decade. One of the main technological and inexpensive tools in this regard is the optimal generation scheduling of microgrid. As a primary optimization tool in the planning and operation fields, optimal operation has an undeniable part in the power system. This paper reviews and evaluates the optimal operation approaches mostly related to microgrids. In this work, the foremost optimal generation scheduling approaches are compared in terms of their objective functions, techniques and constraints. To conclude, a few fundamental challenges occurring from the latest optimal generation scheduling techniques in microgrids are addressed.
A Wind driven PV- FC Hybrid System and its Power Management Strategies in a GridIJERA Editor
This paper shows the work done on the method to operate a Wind driven grid connected hybrid system which is composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell . A wind system provides with an opportunity to harness the abundantly available renewable resource. With the proton exchange membrane the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Here the system uses two operation modes, the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode.

A NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING ANN TECHNIQUE FO...IJERD Editor
The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a Micro grid-connected hybrid generation
system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available
renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with
standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system.
The inverter converts the DC output from non-conventional energy into useful AC power for the
connected load. This hybrid system operates under normal conditions which include normal room temperature
in the case of solar energy and normal wind speed at plain area in the case of wind energy. However, designing
an optimal micro grid is not an easy task, due to the fact that primary energy carriers are changeable and
uncontrollable, as is the demand. Traditional design and optimization tools, developed for controlled power
sources, cannot be employed here. Simulation methods seem to be the best solution.
The dynamic model of the proposed system is first elaborated in the stationary reference frame and
then transformed into the synchronous orthogonal reference frame. The transformed variables are used in
control of the voltage source converter as the heart of the interfacing system between DG resources and utility
grid. By setting an appropriate compensation current references from the sensed load currents in control circuit
loop of DG, the active, reactive, and harmonic load current components will be compensated with fast dynamic
response, thereby achieving sinusoidal grid currents in phase with load voltages, while required power of the
load is more than the maximum injected power of the DG to the grid. In addition, the proposed control method
of this paper does not need a phase-locked loop in control circuit and has fast dynamic response in providing
active and reactive power components of the grid-connected loads.
Analysis of Fuel Cell Based Multilevel DC-DC Boost Converter for Induction MotorIJMTST Journal
In this paper new topologies and interleaving modulation concepts for multilevel DC-DC boost converter
enabling a significantly less loss and a reduced chip size of the power semiconductors are proposed. The
distributed generation (DG) systems based on the renewable energy sources have rapidly developed in
recent years. These DG systems are powered by micro sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaic (PV) systems,
and batteries. Fuel cells are considered to be one of the most promising sources of distributed energy because
of their high efficiency, low environmental impact and scalability. Non-isolated high step-up DC-DC
converters are required in the industrial applications. Many of these conventional DC–DC converters have the
disadvantages of operating at high duty-cycle, high switch voltage stress and high diode peak current. A
three-level step up converter is implemented to boost the fuel cell stack voltage of 96V to 340V. The proposed
converter consists a system of fuel cell based Multilevel DC-DC converter with PI controller is modeled and

FORMULATION AND EXECUTION OF A DC TO DC BOOST CONVERTER WITH NON-CONVENTIONAL...IRJET Journal
1) The document discusses the formulation and execution of a DC to DC boost converter to increase the voltage from a non-conventional energy source for powering an electrolyzer.
2) A boost converter using IGBT switches is designed and simulated in MATLAB to increase the voltage from 32.69V from a 200W solar panel to 226.5V required by the electrolyzer.
3) The simulation results show the converter can achieve over 92% efficiency at full load and maintain the output voltage between 180-226V with varying input voltage and load, making it suitable for powering the electrolyzer from a solar energy source.
This document summarizes a research paper about coordinating and controlling hybrid wind generator power systems. It describes a hybrid power system that includes a wind generator, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and supercapacitors. Two power management strategies are presented: the grid-following strategy and the source-following strategy. The grid-following strategy regulates the DC bus voltage by adjusting the power exchanged with the grid, while allowing the wind generator to operate at maximum power point tracking. The source-following strategy controls the grid's active power using a current loop and regulates the DC bus voltage using the wind generator and storage units. It is observed that the source-following strategy provides better grid regulation performance than the grid-following strategy under normal and abnormal conditions

Dynamic Modeling of Autonomous Wind–diesel system with Fixed-speed Wind TurbineIJAPEJOURNAL
Wind turbines have often connected to small power systems, operating in parallel to diesel generators, as is typically the case in autonomous wind–diesel installations or small island systems with high wind potential. Hence, the modeling and analysis of the dynamic behavior of wind–diesel power systems in presence of wind power will be important. In this paper, the system under study is modeled by a set of dynamic and algebraic equations (DAE). Dynamic behavior of a wind-diesel system is investigated by the proposed dynamic model. Wind-diesel system consists of wind turbines that are connected to synchronous diesel generator via short transmission line with local load. Dynamic stability of autonomous wind–diesel systems are discussed with emphasis on the eigenvalue analysis and the effective parameters on system stability. In this regards, saddle node bifurcation and hopf bifurcation are also investigated.

Improving Control Performance in DC Micro-Grids with Distributed GenerationsIJAPEJOURNAL
DC micro-grids are attracting more and more attention due to their capability to lead to more efficient integration of distributed generation compared with traditional AC micro-grids. In this paper, a hierarchical control architecture is proposed to improve the control performance of DC micro-grid with distributed generations (DGs), which utilize a global controller (GC) to optimize the overall process and a number of distributed local controllers (LCs) associated with each subsystem. The measurement reliability of each LC is guaranteed by an associated measurement validation module which is developed based on Polynomial Chaos Theory (PCT). The system efficiency and robust is counted in the design of GC, where synergetic control theory is adopted. Numerical simulations have been done to verify the proposed method, and the simulation results show good consistency with theoretical analysis.

I. INTRODUCTION
Today, new advances in power generation technologies and new environmental regulations encourage a significant
increase in the use of distributed generation resources around the world [1, 2]. Distributed generation systems (DGS) have
mainly been used as a standby power source for improving the power quality issues. For example, diesel generators are
used as an emergency power source in the case of power failure and also for improving voltage disturbances. However, the
diesel generators were not inherently cost-effective, and produce noise and exhaust. On the other hand, environmental-
friendly distributed generation systems such as fuel cells, micro turbines, biomass, wind turbines, hydro turbines or
photovoltaic arrays can be a solution to meet both the increasing demand of electric power and environmental regulations
due to green house gas emission.
The introduction of DG to the distribution system has a significant impact on the flow of power and voltage conditions to
the customers and utility equipment. These impacts might be positive or negative depending on the distribution system
operating characteristics and the DG characteristics. Positive impacts include voltage support and improved power quality,
diversification of power sources, reduction in transmission and distribution losses, transmission and distribution capacity
release and improved reliability [3].
The integration of DG with the utility distribution network offers a number of technical, environmental, and economical
benefits. Moreover, such integration allows distribution utilities to improve the network performance by reducing its losses.
The existing DG units are utilized to supply active power to either the network or the customers. DG units such as fuel cell,
photo voltaic, micro turbine, and storage devices are always linked via a nonlinear interface. Usually, this interface consists
of a current controlled Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). With the new age of system restructuring, the quality of power gains
increasing attention [4].
Among the new forms of DG, the natural-gas-fed fuel cell that converts chemical energy directly to dc shows a
promising future. Several types of FCs for a variety of applications are under active research [5, 6]. Fuel Cell DG (FCDG)

systems can be strategically placed at any site in a power system (normally at the distribution level) for grid reinforcement,
thereby eliminating the need for system upgrades and improving system integrity, reliability, and efficiency. Therefore,
proper controllers need to be designed for a FCDG system to make its performance characteristics as desired [7, 8].
A great deal of research has been done on power electronic devices for grid connection of FCDG systems in distribution
systems [9-13]. However, most of the related papers have not addressed in detail the modeling and control of power
converters and fuel cell distributed generators. In [14] novel hierarchical control architecture for a hybrid distributed
generation system that consists of dynamic models of a battery bank, a solid oxide fuel cell and the power electronic
converters has been presented. But in this paper the voltage regulation capability and reactive power control of FCDGs
have not been addressed. Also in [15] the flexible control strategy for grid-connection of fuel cell distributed generation to
improve the power quality and active power control in distribution systems has been presented. But, for practical analysis
of the fuel cell systems, a first/second order model [16] is used to realize the slow dynamics of the fuel cells. So it is
important to develop a proper modeling of the FCDG system and design suitable control strategies for all components to
attain good performances such as optimal operation of fuel cell stack and power quality improvement. Hence, in this paper
the intelligent control structure has been developed for a FCDG system with active power management and reactive power
control capability.
The fuel cell power plant is interfaced with the utility grid via boost DC/DC converters and a three-phase pulse width
modulation (PWM) inverter. A validated SOFC dynamic model, reported in [17], is used in this paper. The models for the
boost DC/DC converter and the three-phase inverter together are also addressed. The controller design methodologies for
the DC/DC converters and the three-phase inverter are also presented for the proposed fuel cell DG system. Based on the
individual component models developed and the controllers designed, a simulation model of the SOFC DG system has been
built in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
II. FUEL CELL DISTRIBUTED GENERATION SYSTEM
The dynamic modeling of a Fuel Cell Distributed Generation (FCDG) system is an important problem that needs a
careful study. To study the performance characteristics of FCDG systems, accurate models of fuel cells are needed.
Moreover, models for interfacing the power electronic circuits in a FCDG system are also needed for designing controllers,
which are required for the overall system to improve its performance and to meet certain operational requirements [14].
Concerning the system operational requirements, a FCDG system needs to be interfaced through a set of power electronic
devices. Fig.1 shows the block diagram of the FCDG system proposed in this paper. The electric components of the FCDG
system used in this paper comprise a DC/DC and DC/AC converters, while the electrochemical component is a Solid Oxide
Fuel Cell system (SOFC). The mathematical models describing the dynamic behavior of each of these components are
explained in detail in the following section.

III. FUEL CELL MODEL
Fuel cells are static energy conversion devices that convert the chemical energy of fuel directly into electrical energy.
They can be considered to be an important DG source of the future due to their numerous advantages, such as high
efficiency, zero or low emission of pollutant gases, and flexible modular structure. The model of SOFC power plant used in
this study is based on the dynamic SOFC stack model developed and validated in [17]. The performance of FCs is affected
by several operating variables, as discussed in the following. Decreasing the current density increases the cell voltage,
thereby increasing the FC efficiency. One of the important operating variables is the reactant utilization, Uf, referring to the
fraction of the total fuel (or oxidant) introduced into a FC that reacts electrochemically:

Where, 2Hq is the hydrogen molar flow.
High utilizations are considered desirable (particularly in smaller systems) because they minimize the required fuel and
oxidant flow, for a minimum fuel cost and compressor load and size. However, utilizations that are pushed too high result
in significant voltage drops. The SOFC consists of hundreds of cells connected in series and parallel. Fuel and air are
passed through the cells. By regulating the level, the amount of fuel fed into the fuel cell stacks is adjusted, and the output
real power of the fuel cell system is controlled. The Nernst’s equation and Ohm’s law determine the average voltage
magnitude of the fuel cell stack [18]. The following equations model the voltage of the fuel cell stack:

IV. DC – DC CONVERTER MODEL
Usually to connect a fuel cell to an external power system, it is necessary to boost the fuel cell voltage or to increase the
number of cells. The role of the DC/DC boost converter is to increase the fuel cell voltage, to control the fuel cell power,
and to regulate the voltage. Fig. 2 shows the DC/DC converter model.

By far the mostly used converter nowadays is the Voltage Source Converter (VSC). A dynamic model of the voltage
source inverter has been developed. A three-phase equivalent circuit of DC/AC converter is shown in Fig. 3. To reduce
harmonics, filters are connected between the converter and the grid. A first-order filter, represented by Ls and Rs in Fig. 3,
is used. In Fig. 3, Via, Vib and Vic are the three-phase AC voltage outputs of the inverter, and Ia, Ib, Ic are the three-phase
AC current outputs of the inverter. The bus voltages of the grid are Vsa, Vsb and Vsc. The dynamic model of the three-phase
VSC is represented in[19].

VI. DC – DC CONVERTER CONTROLLER
The DC - DC converter is an integral part of fuel cell power conditioning unit and hence PI controller based boost
converter has been used in SOFC based DG to maintain a constant voltage. The unregulated output voltage of the FC is fed
to the dc/dc boost converter. Being unregulated it has to be adjusted to a constant average value (regulated dc voltage) by
adjusting the duty ratio to the required value. The voltage is boosted depending upon the duty ratio. The duty ratio of the
boost converter is adjusted with the help of a PI controller. The duty ratio is set at a particular value for the converter to
provide desired average value of voltage at the output, for any fluctuation in the FC voltage due to variation in the output
load. The duty ratio of the converter is changed by changing the pulses fed to the switch in the dc/dc converter circuit by
the PWM generator. The output of the dc/dc converter is the boosted voltage that is fed to the load or to the next stage of
filter to eventually pass on to the inverter stage. This boosted voltage is compared with a reference dc voltage to generate an
error signal. The error signal is fed as inputs to the PI Controller. The PI controller generates control signal based upon the
inputs. The control signal is fed to the PWM generator. The PWM generator based upon the control signal adjusts the
pulses of the switch of the boost converter. The boost converter generates output voltage based upon the duty ratio provided
by the PWM generator. The PI control scheme for boost converter is shown in Fig. 4.

VII. DC – AC CONVERTER CONTROLLER
Power quality has attracted considerable attention from both utilities and users due to the use of many types of sensitive
electronic equipment, which can be affected by harmonics, voltage sag, voltage swell, and momentary interruptions. These
disturbances cause problems, such as overheating, motor failures, in accurate metering, and disoperation of protective
equipment. Voltage disturbance is the common power quality problem in industrial distribution systems. The voltage
disturbance mainly encompasses voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage harmonics, and voltage unbalance. The voltage
disturbance notoriously affects voltage sensitive equipment that eventually leads to malfunction. In order to connect the fuel
cell to the main grid, the injection of output current of inverter has to be regulated.

The main part of the three phase ac voltage controller for grid connected application is the current injection unit. A PI
controller and a fuzzy logic controller is used to inject the current of the three phase ac voltage controller to the grid thereby
enabling the control of both active and reactive power injection to the grid. The output current of the ac voltage converter is
converted to dq reference frame and compared with reference current to generate the error signal which is fed as an input to
the PI / Fuzzy controller. The PI controller generates control signal based upon the inputs. The control signal is converted
back to abc frame and fed to the PWM generator. The PWM generator based upon the control signal adjusts the pulses of
the switches of the ac voltage converter. The ac voltage converter injects the output current based upon the duty ratio
provided by the PWM generator. The general schematic of a PI controller plus fuzzy logic controller for grid connected
application is shown in Fig. 5.
VIII. SIMULATION RESULTS
The topology used in this study for the fuel cell system, power condition unit, and load is shown in Fig. 6. The
performance of the proposed structure is assessed by a computer simulation that uses MATLAB Software. The parameters
of the system under study are given in Table 1. The simulation result obtained is the variation of output voltage of fuel cell
with respect to time. The maximum power obtained from the fuel cell model is 200V which can be increased or decreased
by connecting or disconnecting the number of cells in series. The simulation result of the output voltage of fuel cell is
shown in Fig. 7. For fuel cell based generation system, boost chopper circuit is always used as the DC-DC converter. Since
the output voltage of fuel cell is low, the use of boost circuit will enable low-voltage fuel cell to be used in distribution
generation system. As a result, the total cost will be reduced. The Fig.8 and Fig.9 shows the simulation result of the fuel
cell fed boost converter and output voltage, current, real and reactive power output of the proposed system. The parameters
used to model a boost converter are shown in Table 1.

IX. CONCLUSION
Modeling, control and simulation study of a fuel cell based distribution generation system is proposed in this project.
In this project, a PI/fuzzy control strategy is proposed for the fuel cell based distributed generation system to evaluate the
performance of this system during power quality disturbances, which occurs in the distribution system. Also based on the
dynamic modeling of power electronic converters, fuel cell etc; the PI/fuzzy controller is investigated to guarantee the safe
operation of each component. The proposed control strategy for this kind of distribution system helps in delivering the
maximum power of fuel cell power source and makes the proper operation of each power source under power quality
disturbances. Also the proposed control strategy is insensitive to the parameter variation in the distribution system network.
The effectiveness of the proposed system can be verified by using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
