Dynamic modelling and control of a solid oxide reversible cell for power disturbance rejection in a mixed power grid

The integration of variable renewable energy sources (RESs) in the electrical power grid leads to larger and faster variations in the power demanded from controllable power sources. This is a problem, because flexibility of (base load) power plants is limited. Solid oxide reversible cells(SORCs) can be used as load-shifting devices to reduce...

Dynamic modelling and nonlinear model predictive control of a reversible solid oxide fuel cell: for grid-tied power tracking

The primary objective of this work is to research and develop a dynamic model and an advanced control strategy for a reversible solid oxide fuel cell in a grid to ensure load tracking whilst maintaining fuel utilisation and temperature dynamics within a safe range. This report presents the successful development of the dynamic model and...
