Abstract
With the increasing application of distributed energy resources and information
technologies in the electricity infrastructure, innovative possibilities for
incorporating the demand side more actively in power system operation are
enabled. At the residential level energy costs could be reduced with
intelligent price-based control concepts (demand response). A promising,
controllable, residential distributed generation technology is micro
cogeneration (micro-CHP). Micro-CHP is an energy efficient technology that
simultaneously provides heat and electricity to households during operation.
This paper presents a detailed model of a household using a proton exchange
membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) micro-CHP system in conjunction with heat storage
options to fulfil its heat and part of its electricity demand. Furthermore, a
decentralised controller based on a model predictive control (MPC) strategy is
proposed. MPC can take benefit of future knowledge on prizes and energy demands
and can therefore lead to better system performance. In simulations the
performance of the MPC-controlled PEMFC system is illustrated under different
conditions regarding energy pricing, domestic energy demand, and system
configuration.
