| Abstract |
MicroGrids (MGs) are one of the most efficient ways to integrate the renewable energy sources in the rural areas. The biogas extracted from the organic waste, an often-unused renewable resource, can be electrically valorised through a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell / Gas MicroTurbine hybrid system. In order to preserve the high electrical efficiency obtained with this kind of hybrid system, its integration into à rural MG has been done using only a 3LNPC. The paper focuses on the control strategy designed in order to allows managing the power produced by the two separate sources to meet the power demand.Simulation and experimental results, with a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell / Gas MicroTurbine hybrid system emulator and a 3LNPC prototype connected to a MG experimental platform, confirm the feasibility of the investigated system. |
