Abstract: The use of high temperature fuel cells, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), for power generation is considered a very efficient and clean solution for conservation of energy resources. When the SOFC is coupled with a ...

Abstract: The effect of cathode airflow variation on the dynamics of a fuel cell gas turbine hybrid system was evaluated using a cyber-physical emulator. The coupling between cathode airflow and other parameters, such as turbine ...

Abstract: The use of model predictive control (MPC) in advanced power systems can be advantageous in controlling highly coupled variables and optimizing system operations. Solid oxide fuel cell/gas turbine (SOFC/GT) hybrids are an ...

Abstract: This paper shows control approaches for managing a pressurized solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system fuelled by biogas. This is an advanced solution to integrate the high efficiency benefits of a pressurized SOFC with a ...

Abstract: Microgas turbine (MGT) engines in the range of 1–100 kW are playing a key role in distributed generation applications, due to the high reliability and quick load following that favor their integration with intermittent ...

Abstract: This study addresses the uncertainties in hybrid-electric powertrain technology for a 19-passenger commuter aircraft, focusing on two future Entry-Into-Service timeframes: 2030 and 2040. The methodology is split into a ...

Abstract: In this paper, two different advanced control approaches for a pressurized solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hybrid system are investigated and compared against traditional proportional integral derivative (PID). Both advanced ...

Abstract: This paper aims to develop and test Bayesian belief network-based diagnosis methods, which can be used to predict the most likely degradation levels of turbine, compressor, and fuel cell (FC) in a hybrid system based on ...
