摘要
According to importance and security of energy in recent years, too many research about renweable energy have been done. Among renewable energy sources, fuel cell has far attention, because the efficiency of fuel cells is always higher as compared with other distributed generation systems. Fuel cell has a lot of advantages such as: high efficiency (35% - 60%), low to zero emissions, quiet operation, high reliability due to the limited number of moving parts and the ability to be placed at any site in a distribution system without geographic limitations. Management in supplying residential load with fuel cell power plant (FCPP) connected to grid is the aim of this paper. Economical fuel cell model includes Operational cost, startup cost and different tariffs on electricity during the day hour is discussed. In the present research, reformer is used to produce hydrogen for FCPP. Genetic algorithm (GA) is used to determine optimal operation of FCPP with six-minute change in load pattern. The results are discussed in conclusion.
