Abstract

This paper presents a coordinated control strategy for a hybrid shipboard power system integrating multiple polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and battery energy storage system (BESS) units. The control strategy is developed to optimize the operational efficiency of PEMFCs, reduce hydrogen consumption, and stabilize the power system operation during dynamic load changes. A combination of master–slave and droop control methods is proposed to coordinate the outputs from multiple PEMFCs and BESS units while considering both system stability and efficiency. The developed model simulates the interaction between PEMFC as the primary power source and BESS as a support mechanism to ensure efficient and reliable power delivery. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated control strategy, demonstrating a 14.16 % improvement in system efficiency over conventional control strategies, with stable voltage tracking of the reference value throughout load variations. This study provides a robust framework for future applications of hybrid PEMFC/BESS systems in marine environments, contributing to the advancement of sustainable and efficient shipboard power systems.

期刊介绍： Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview. • Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation. • Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design. • Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems. • Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids. • The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques. • Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
