Abstract
Fuel cell electric vehicles convert chemical energy of hydrogen into
electricity to power their motor. Since cars are used for transport only during
a small part of the time, energy stored in the on-board hydrogen tanks of fuel
cell vehicles can be used to provide power when cars are parked. In this paper,
we present a community microgrid with photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, and
fuel cell electric vehicles that are used to provide vehicle-to-grid power when
renewable power generation is scarce. Excess renewable power generation is used
to produce hydrogen, which is stored in a refilling station. A central control
system is designed to operate the system in such a way that the operational
costs are minimized. To this end, a hybrid model for the system is derived, in
which both the characteristics of the fuel cell vehicles and their traveling
schedules are considered. The operational costs of the system are formulated
considering the presence of uncertainty in the prediction of the load and
renewable energy generation. A robust min-max model predictive control scheme
is developed and finally, a case study illustrates the performance of the
designed system.
