| Abstract | The one way to increase value of renewable energy is to use high efficiency solid oxide fuel cell as an energy storage device. The utilization of SOFC for DG requires the development converters that converts variable DC power into AC power. This paper addresses the integration of the SOFC with a power electronic inverter as a distributed generation/storage device. The SOFC model and power inverter blocks are implemented in MATLAB. The aim of this work is to identify interactions between the SOFC system and the AC power system, via the inverter, in different scenarios or grid connected, microgrid or islanded operation. |
