Control and Grid Synchronization of Fuel Cell Based Inverter Using Matlab

Renewable power generation is gaining more important for stand-alone as well as in the form of grid connected distributed generation due to increasing the electrical power demand and requirement of pollution control. Fuel-cell-based power generation is also gaining popularity in residential applications as well as distributed power generation due to its cleanliness, portability, and suitability for electricity and heat generation compared to conventional energy source and some of the non-conventional sources as well. This paper is presented the modeling controlling and synchronization of fuel cell based distributed system. The detailed dynamic modeling of proton exchange membrane fuel cell based DG plant is described. The control strategy is designed for operating the FC based system in both grid connected mode and islanded mode to better work of the system. The design of PEMFC and control system is designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.
