Abstract:
It is foreseen that Fuel Cells (FC) might be used jointly with conventional generation system to contribute to the grid in near future. The increase of electricity consumption, rapid decaying of fossil fuel, efficiency and cost effectiveness of FC are the crucial factors functioning behind this anticipation. But this practice can affect the stability conditions of the total power system. Hence, it is of the essence to contemplate the power system stability condition when SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) power plant appended to it.
In this thesis the dynamic model of grid connected SOFC power plant which is additionally operating with conventional fossil-fuel generation system is simulated and the stability conditions are observed carefully. Later on, some FC controllers are utilized to regain the power system stability after occurring disturbances.
