Abstract

This paper considers optimal operation of an hybrid powered energy system. The two power sources include a direct methanol fuel cell and a lithium-ion battery. A portable system represented by characteristic dynamic load profiles is considered as the consumer. A PI and a nonlinear model predictive control algorithm have been investigated and compared in terms of efficiency and robustness of operation.
