Abstract

Fuel cell is one of the promising energy sources that produce electrical energy with almost zero pollutant. Although fuel cell had been invented for quite some time, it is only recently that fuel cell garners the attention in the energy industry for their clean electricity generation. Among all the available fuel cell, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is one of the most interesting fuel cells types due to high energy efficiency, low emission from the chemical reaction, long-term stability, flexibility in options for fuel and low cost. Since the SOFC is to be used as an electrical source, there is a need to keep the fuel cell in a state of constant power output. Hence, maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions and a good control system is required. Model Predictive Control (MPC) proves to be an effective control strategy to control the power output of the SOFC.
In this paper, the problem statement is defined and an objective is developed. In literature review, the more in depth review will be done on SOFC and MPC. Other than that, literature review also discusses the application of MPC to fuel cell in general, not limiting to Solid Oxide fuel cell. A detailed methodology on how the project will be simulated is included in Chapter 3.. In Chapter 4, the results of the simulation of scenarios will be discussed. Conclusion for the overall activities which have been carried out for this project will be in Chapter 5.
