Abstract EN
Dynamics of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with hydrogen storage system for generating part of Hercules airplanes electrical energy is presented.
Feasibility of using fuel cell (FC) for this airplane is evaluated by means of simulations.
Temperature change and dual layer capacity effect are considered in all simulations.
Using a three-level 3-phase inverter, FC’s output voltage is connected to the essential bus of the airplane.
Moreover, it is possible to connect FC’s output voltage to airplane DC bus alternatively.
PID controller is presented to control flow of hydrogen and oxygen to FC and improve transient and steady state responses of the output voltage to load disturbances.
FC’s output voltage is regulated via an ultracapacitor.
Simulations are carried out via MATLAB/SIMULINK and results show that the load tracking and output voltage regulation are acceptable.
The proposed system utilizes an electrolyser to generate hydrogen and a tank for storage.
Therefore, there is no need for batteries.
Moreover, the generated oxygen could be used in other applications in airplane.
