Abstract:Control system configuration is essential for the efficiency performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). In this paper, we aim to report a novel two-layer self-optimizing control (SOC) system for the efficiency maximization of a direct internal reforming SOFC, where the efficiency index is defined as the profit of generated electricity penalized by carbon (CO 2 ) emission. Based on the lumped-parameter model of the SOFC, comprehensive evaluations are carried out to identify the optimal controlled variables … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
