Power Management Strategy for a Multi-Hybrid Fuel Cell/Energy Storage Power Generation Systems ABSTRACT: This paper depicts a new configuration for modular hybrid power conversion systems, namely, multi-hybrid generation system (MHGS), and parallel connection at the output, such that the converter of each unit shares the load current equally. This is a significant step towards realizing a modular power conversion system architecture, where smaller units can be connected in any series/parallel grouping to realize any required unit specifications. The supercapacitor (SC) as a complementary source is used to compensate for the slow transient response of the fuel cell (FC) as a main power source. It assists the Fe to meet the grid power demand in order to achieve a better performance and dynamic behavior. Reliable control of the proposed MHGS with multiple units is also a challenging issue. In this paper, a simple control method to achieve active sharing of load current among MHGS modules is proposed. The simulation results verify the performance of the proposed structure and control scheme.

CONCLUSION: This paper proposes a comprehensive and effective multihybrid FC/SC power generation system structure and control strategy. The detailed model of the modular FC/SC hybrid system which includes an FC stack as a main power source and an SC as a complementary source is presented.

In order to balance power sharing among the units, average load sharing technique is used.

To show the superior dynamic behavior and power sharing of the proposed MHGS, results for two parallel hybrid systems are provided. The presented analysis and the simulation results offer a valuable structure with an effective control strategy to enhance power quality and management. These performances allow the integration MHGS into complex distributed generation systems such as microgrids.
