| Summary: | With more focus and emphasis placed on reducing environmental pollution and reliance
on fossil fuel, research in clean energy usage and applications is increasingly gaining
attention. Fuel cell technology is one of the key areas in which the international
community is heavily investing in as alternative power sources due to the fact that it
produces little or even zero by-product pollutant during the power generation process.
The project itself focuses on developing a NI LabVIEW based control scheme which
could effectively control the power generated from the 5kW PEM PhyX-5000 Fuel Cell
System into a simulated Microgrid. The integration would allow Fuel Cell System to
supply power into the Microgrid in time when the demand for electrical power exceeds
what convention power generation source could supply. The power output from the Fuel
Cell System would pass through a Power Condition System (DC-DC-AC Converter)
before being supplied into the Microgrid. |
