Improved fuzzy logic control-based energy management strategy for hybrid power system of FC/PV/battery/SC on tourist ship

摘要

An improved fuzzy-based energy management strategy (EMS) is proposed for a tourist ship used hybrid power system with multiple power sources consisting of fuel cell(FC)/photovoltaic cell(PV)/battery(BAT)/super-capacitor(SC). The power demand from propeller and user terminal is afforded by the power sources connecting to power converters. To obtain more superior performance of the power system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is employed to optimize the PV. Meanwhile, the improved fuzzy logic control based on dynamic programming (DP) associated with wavelet analysis and PI control are employed to achieve the output power optimal distribution and online control. In particular, the MPPT algorithm can improve the utilization of solar energy, and the SC can well absorb the high frequency power and reduce the fluctuation of the battery and FC that exhibits the potential of their lifetime extension. The FC outputs the high and stable power satisfying the ship's power demand even under the extreme work conditions. The developed model is able to illustrate well in the operation process of the hybrid power system governed by the proposed EMS. In addition, compared with the rule-based strategy, the improved fuzzy-based EMS can reduce 14.39 hydrogen consumption and keep the consistency of battery SOC.
