A Fuzzy Neural Network Control of SOFC based system in Distributed Generation

Abstract

This research paper proposes a new controller for the control of Active and Reactive power of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) based system. The SOFC is coupled with a micro-grid though Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The switches used in VSI are IGBT and the switching technique is Current Hysteresis. The Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) controller is used to guides the power conditioning unit to deliver the active and reactive power to the micro-grid. It is found that the Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) controller is capable to control the SOFC based system and outperforms conventional controller. Furthermore, the mathematical modeling of the system is presented. The whole mechanism is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink
