Modeling of Fuel Cell/microturbine generation scheme with battery storage

Abstract

This paper describes a proposed distributed generation scheme employing a microturbine driving a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The ac power generated from the PMSG is rectified and, along with a Fuel Cell, is connected to the dc-link together with a battery bank. A PWM inverter delivers ac power to the load. The dynamic and steady state models of the distributed generation scheme will be derived and the simulation results will be presented for different load variations.
