The research on the control strategy and dynamic characteristics of the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell-Micro Gas Turbine (MCFC-MGT) hybrid power system has received much attention. The use of the Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) method to study the MCFC-MGT hybrid power system, where the MCFC is the model subsystem and the MGT is the physical subsystem, is an effective means to save development cost and time. The difficulty with developing the MCFC-MGT HILS system is the transfer of the mass, energy, and momentum between the physical subsystem and the model subsystem. Hence, a new Simulation–Stimulation (Sim–Stim) interface model of the MCFC-MGT HILS hybrid power system to achieve a consistent mass, energy, and momentum with the prototype system of the MCFC-MGT hybrid power system is proposed. In order to validate the Sim–Stim interface model before application in an actual system, both a real-time model of the MCFC-MGT hybrid power system and the MCFC-MGT HILS hybrid power system based on the Sim–Stim interface model were developed in the Advanced PROcess Simulation (APROS) platform. The step-up and step-down of the current density, which were strict for the Sim–Stim interface model, were studied in these two models. The results demonstrated that the Sim–Stim interface model developed for the MCFC-MGT HILS hybrid power system is rapid and reasonable.

In order to secure the safe operation of the ship, it is crucial to closely examine the suitability from the design stage of the ship, and to set up a preliminary review and countermeasures for failures and defects that may occur during the construction process. In shipyards, the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) evaluation method using risk priority number (RPN) is used in the shipbuilding process. In the case of the conventional RPN method, evaluation items and criteria are ambiguous, and subjective factors such as evaluator’s experience and understanding of the system operate a lot on the same contents, resulting in differences in evaluation results. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the safety and reliability for ship application of the reliability-enhanced fuel cell-based hybrid power system by applying the re-established FMEA technique. Experts formed an FMEA team to redefine reliable assessment criteria for the RPN assessment factors severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D). Analyze potential failures of each function of the molten-carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) system, battery system, and diesel engine components of the fuel cell-based hybrid power system set as evaluation targets to redefine the evaluation criteria, and the evaluation criteria were derived by identifying the effects of potential failures. In order to confirm the reliability of the derived criteria, the reliability of individual evaluation items was verified by using the significance probability used in statistics and the coincidence coefficient of Kendall. The evaluation was conducted to the external evaluators using the reestablished evaluation criteria. As a result of analyzing the correspondence according to the results of the evaluation items, the severity was 0.906, the incidence 0.844, and the detection degree 0.861. Improved agreement was obtained, which is a significant result to confirm the reliability of the reestablished evaluation results.

Fuel cells have been revealed to be a very attractive power generation system, promising highly efficient electricity generation and very low environmental impact. The integration of micro turbines and high-temperature fuel cells has been proposed in recent years as an extremely efficient solution for power generation. A molten carbonate fuel cell / micro gas turbine (MCFC/MGT) hybrid power system has theoretically demonstrated that it can achieve higher thermal efficiency than other conventional power generation systems. To understand operation characteristics of the MCFC/MGT hybrid power system, it is essential to analyze influence of operating and design parameters on its performance. Based on an existing 50KW MCFC stack, a steady-state thermodynamic model for MCFC/MGT hybrid power system is developed on the IPSEpro simulation platform and applied to a performance analysis. The characteristics under off-design and design condition for hybrid power system were also analyzed.

Molten carbonate fuel cell/ gas turbine hybrid power system (MCFC/GT) output power should real-time response the demand of load. The auto-tuning ZieglerNichols tuned PI controller (AZNPIC) as a feedback controller for power corrective action is added to the hybrid power system. The optimal setpoints and feed forward control inputs of the controller are given by Multi-output Support Vector Machine Regression (MSVR) predictor for the hybrid system. Simulation results show that the power of hybrid system can be effectively close to the desired setpoints based on the control method.

This paper proposes a co-ordinated reactive power control strategy analysis in Line Side Converter (LSC) of Doubly Fed induction generator (DFIG) and in the Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) of synchronous generator (SG) in isolated Dish Stirling solar Thermal(DSTS) – Biomass hybrid power system. This co-ordinated control strategy greatly maintains the autonomous hybrid power system voltage deviation by adjusting the reactive power imbalance caused due to the impulsive reactive power nature of DFIG coupled with the DSTS and load. Gain values of Integral Order Proportional Integral (IO-PI) controller in LSC and AVR are optimized to maintain the system voltage stability. Modern and simple Grey wolf optimization algorithm has been used to extract the superior PI gain values to maintain system stability with less reaction time. The proposed co-ordinated control strategy has been tested with various load disturbance and with dynamic input power feed from DSTS to validate the system robustness. Also, the optimized gain value based voltage deviation values are validated in real time with dSPACE.
