Hybrid Energy

In this proposal, microcontroller-based energy flow control was designed in order to effectively and efficiently enable the use of energy sources in a hybrid energy generation system including wind, solar, and hydrogen energy. It was assumed that the hybrid energy generation system is dynamic during the design of the microcontroller-based energy flow control. A wind–solar energy generation system was determined as the base load power plant. Depending on the demand, the battery group and fuel cell were activated effectively. If an energy surplus occurred, it was stored in battery groups and transformed into hydrogen energy via a hydrogen generator simultaneously. In addition to providing energy sustainability, a constant active status of the energy storage group was prevented and the physical life of the group was prolonged by means of the microcontroller-based control system. If consumer demand could not be met by the main energy sources including wind and solar energy, the battery groups and fuel cell were activated and provided the energy sustainability. After a certain level of charge was reached in the battery group, it was deactivated via the control system in order to prevent unnecessary use of energy. By means of the microcontroller-based control system, the usage of energy generated with the hybrid energy generation system was analysed according to its efficiency.

Save Energy

Fuji Electric Group has sold many 100kW phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) generation systems. These PAFC systems have achieved the initial development goal of a cell life of 40,000 hours (approximately 5 years). The first set of second-commercial-type 100kW PAFC (FP-100F) has been operated since December 2001 at a training institute of Fuji Electric Human Resources Development Center Co., Ltd. The facility has introduced a new energy generation system composed with a 100kW PAFC, a 26kW micro gas turbine and a 10kW photovoltaic generation. This new energy generation system aims to save energy with mainly use PAFC for supplying electrical power, and micro gas turbine for heat demand. This system has been achieved to reduce CO2 emissions of 30%, and to save energy of 13% during December 2001 to March 2004, compared with conventional commercial electric power and a boiler.
