Abstract
This paper
evaluates the performance of a fuzzy based power flow control of grid connected
hybrid system. The hybrid system composed of a Photo Voltaic (PV) array and a
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is considered. The Photo Voltaic
(PV) array normally uses a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique to
continuously deliver the highest power to the load when there are variations in
irradiation and temperature which make it become an uncontrollable source. In
coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable.
Two operation modes, the Unit -Power Control (UPC) mode and the Feeder-Flow
Control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. In the UPC mode,
variations in load demand are compensated by the main grid because the hybrid
source output is regulated to reference power by using an adaptive fuzzy
controller. The proposed operating strategy with a flexible operation mode
change always operates the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in
its high efficiency performance band, thus improving the performance of system
operation, enhancing system stability, and decreasing the number of operating
mode changes. This new control concept is demonstrated with extensive
MATLAB/Simulink simulation studies.
