Abstract

This book chapter addresses the intelligent power management of a hybrid ( fuel cell/energy storage( distributed generator connected to a power grid. It presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy control strategy to manage the active power between the two power sources: fuel cell and battery. A validated PEM (Proton Exchange membrane) fuel cell dynamic model along with dynamic models for the battery bank, the boost DC/DC converter and the three-phase grid-connected inverter are given. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the power management scheme. They show that the real and reactive power delivered by the fuel cell system to the utility grid can be controlled as desired, while the state of charge of the battery and the utilization factor of the fuel cell are maintained well within their prescribed ranges.
