CONTROL STRATEGY:

IF THE POWER PRODUCED BY THE RENEWABLE SOURCES IS HIGHER THAN LOAD: CHARGE
If the spare power from renewable is lower than Plim_charge = 30 kW the Batteries are charged. Otherwise the
Electrolyzer generates H2

IF THE POWER PRODUCED BY THE RENEWABLE SOURCES IS LESS THAN LOAD: DISCHARGE
If the power not supplied to meet the load is lower than P1FC = 11,2 kW, it will be supplied by the Batteries. If the
Batteries cannot supply the whole and the rest is lower than P2 = 39,6 kW, the rest will be supplied by the Fuel Cell,
otherwise the rest will be supplied by the AC Generator.
If the power not supplied to meet the load is higher than P1FC = 11,2 kW, and lower than P2 = 39,6 kW, it will be
supplied by the Fuel Cell. If the FC cannot supply the whole and the rest is lower than P1gen = INF kW, the rest will be
supplied by the Batteries, otherwise the rest will be supplied by the AC Generator.
If the power not supplied to meet the load is higher than P2 = 39,6 kW, it will be supplied by the AC Generator. If the
AC Generator cannot supply the whole and the rest is lower than P1FC = 11,2 kW, the rest will be supplied by the
Batteries, otherwise the rest will be supplied by the Fuel Cell.

AC Generator Minimum Power : 15 kW

When power to be supplied by AC Gen. is < Pcritical_gen = 0 kW, AC gen. runs at full power (without excess),
charging the Batt. (this hour and the next hours) until 10 % SOC is reached and generating H2 in Elyzer until H2
Tank= 0 t
Fuel Cell Minimum Power : 0,1 kW
When power to be supplied by FC is < Pcritical_FC = 0 kW, the FC runs at full power (without excess), charging the
Batteries (this hour and the next hours) until 10 % of SOC is reached
LOAD FOLLOWING. SOC min. batteries = 10 %
