Active Power Management of MultiHybrid Fuel Cell/Supercapacitor Power Conversion System in a Medium Voltage Microgrid ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a hierarchical active power management strategy for a medium voltage (MV) islanded microgrid including a multihybrid power conversion system (MHPCS). To guarantee excellent power management, a modular power conversion system is realized by parallel connection of small MHPCS units. The hybrid system includes fuel cells (FC) as main and supercapacitors (SC) as complementary power sources. The SC energy storage compensates the slow transient response of the FC stack and supports the FC to meet the grid power demand.

The proposed control strategy of the MHPCS comprises three control loops; dc-link voltage controller, power management controller, and load current sharing controller. Each distributed generation (DG) unit uses an adaptive proportional resonance (PR) controller for regulating the load voltage, and a droop control strategy for average power sharing among the DG units. The performance of the proposed control strategy is verified by using digital time-domain simulation studies in the PSCAD/EMTDC software environment.

CONCLUSION: This paper presents a hierarchical active power management strategy for a MV islanded microgrid considering the MHPCS. The proposed strategy includes power management of the FC/SC hybrid system, current sharing among the MHPCS components, voltage control of the acside, and power sharing among the DG units. The SC energy storage compensates the slow transient response of the FC stack. An adaptive PR controller and a droop controller are, respectively, used to effectively regulate the load voltage and to share the average power among the DG units. The performance of the proposed control strategy in both balanced and unbalanced

The results show that the proposed strategy: • enhances the dynamic response of the microgrid in fast transients; • accurately shares the load current among the FC/SC hybrid units; • robustly regulates voltage and frequency of the microgrid; • is able to share the average power among theDGunits even under unbalanced conditions; • effectively eliminates the low frequency transient of power components; and • locally compensates the unbalanced loads.
