“…Analytical models which are usually implemented by a set of non-linear equations are derived from the accurate analysis of all involved physical phenomena. Otherwise, empirical models which are usually implemented by equivalent circuits are obtained by a black-box approach [22][23][24][25][26]. They were followed different approaches in modeling the phenomenon of partial discharges.…”

“…Temperature effects are considered as data scattering on collected measures and not included in the proposed model. In the literature, accurate fuel cell modeling is a widely addressed topic [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In [14,16] a 10W fuel cell stack steady-state and dynamic behavior including temperature effects is modeled.…”

In this paper, fuel cellbased hybrid power supplies for household appliances are addressed. The profile of residential power consumption is evaluated during working, non-working days in both summer and winter periods. The worst-case load power demand is therefore highlighted. A 5kW Nuvera PowerFlow proton exchange membrane fuel cell for household appliances is tested. On the basis of the characterization of the fuel cell stack under test, stand-alone and fuel cellbattery active hybrid power supply architectures are both considered. Experimental validation of three power management algorithms is proposed in terms of hydrogen consumption, cost and energy saving. Power management algorithms are validated by the mean of experimental data in MATLAB environment.Index Terms-fuel cells, hybrid power systems, power system control, power supplies.

“…With regards to energy harvesting, the uncertainty and limited availability of environmental energy is the major hindrance to a successful application to automotive and household appliances. Accurate source and load modeling avoids experimental failure of the power management system [5][6][7][8]. As an example, in the literature, partial or total shading of photovoltaic panels is a widely addressed topic.…”

Today, energy harvesting is drawing a great deal of attention due to modern trends in energy saving and sustainable development purposes. Among renewable energy sources fuel cells and photovoltaic arrays are the most promising for a wide variety of applications, ranging from few mWatts of wireless sensor networks to kWatts for household appliances. Coupling several harvesters and renewable sources is the winning strategy to ensure a proper supply overcoming the uncertainty and limited availability of common harvesters and renewable sources. Multisource energy harvesting is actually an open research topic involving several pressing and often conflicting requirements. System cost, complexity, size and efficiency are only a few performance indicators. In this paper, a multi-input, singleinductor architecture is proposed. A practical implementation is proposed as an example. Benefits brought by the proposed architecture over existing solutions are widely investigated. Design guidelines are given and simulation results are presented to test the efficiency of the proposed architecture.
