Over the last few years, the research of new energy sources as a substitute for the current de-pletable ones has been increasing. One of these possible sources is hydrogen, one of the mostcommon elements in the planet. By using what’s called as a fuel cell, it can be used to efficientlygenerate clean electrical and thermal energy, as the only output is water.This project has been developed in the framework of the DPI2015-69286-C3-2-R MICAPEM (Pa-rameter estimation, diagnosis and control for the improvement of efficiency and durability ofPEM fuel cells) project, which aims to create an architecture and control of a system that will beable to supply electrical and thermal power to a typically-sized house using a Proton ExchangeMembrane Fuel Cell working at high-temperature (HT-PEMFC).To do so, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) will be used, capable of controlling the amountof hydrogen being consumed based on the prediction of the house’s electrical and thermal de-mand.The numerical computation system Matlab will be used for the creation of the MPC and itsSimulink tool, to model the PEMFC system. Then a series of simulations will be run, which willboth test the controller in several scenarios as well as to understand its behaviour |
