This paper presents a method of generating realistic electricity load profile data for the UK domestic buildings. The domestic space features have been investigated excluding the heating and hot water systems. A questionnaire survey was conducted and the feedback were collected from a number of occupants at different intervals of times on daily bases in order to establish the probabilistic record of the estimated use of electrical appliances. The model concept of this study also considers the results of previous investigations such as that available in public reports and statistics as input data elements to predict the global domestic energy consumption. In addition, the daily load profile from individual dwelling to community can be predicted using this method. The result of the present method was compared to available published data and has shown reasonable agreement.

Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine (FC/GT) hybrid technology is promising, but introduces challenges in system operation and control. For base-load applications, changes in ambient conditions perturb the system and it becomes difficult to maintain constant power production by the FC/GT system. If the FC/GT hybrid system is load-following, then the problem becomes even more complex. In the current study, a dynamic model of a FC/GT power plant is developed with system controls. Two cases are evaluated: (1) system controls are developed to maintain constant power and process control within acceptable constraints and (2) the FC/GT power plant is set in power following mode connected in parallel to the grid for a daily load profile scenario. Changing ambient conditions are employed in the dynamic analysis for both cases. With appropriate attention to design of the system itself and the control logic, the challenges for dynamic system operation and control can be addressed.
