Abstract

This paper presents a closed-loop control of a 440kW fuel cell system including power electronics and grid side filters. Simulation results show the dynamics of a phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) and its associated power electronics including grid connection. The proposed model is based on empirical equations and Simulink blocks. The modeling and simulation is done in Matlab/Simulink software with its Power System Blockset (PSB). This model mathematically calculates cell output voltages and their consequent losses. Moreover, this model includes dc power conversion of fuel cell output into ac and grid interface. Presented model is simple and easy to understand.
