Research on a simulated 60 kW PEMFC cogeneration system for domestic application. (English) Zbl 1111.78310

Summary: The electrical and thermal performances of a simulated 60kW Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) cogeneration system are first analyzed and then strategies to make the system operation stable and efficient are developed. The system configuration is described first, and then the power response and coordination strategy are presented on the basis of the electricity model. Two different thermal models are used to estimate the thermal performance of this cogeneration system, and heat management is discussed. Based on these system designs, the 60kW PEMFC cogeneration system is analyzed in detail. The analysis results will be useful for further study and development of the system.
