Rule-based energy management strategies for PEMFC-based micro-CHP systems: A comparative analysis.

ABSTRACT: Commercial PEMFC-based micro-CHP systems are operated by rule-based energy management strategies. Each of these strategies constitutes a different way to meet the household energy demand (following the heat demand, following the electricity demand, the maximum of the two, etc.). Previous studies demonstrate that which of them is the best -i.e. the one that manages to meet the demand at the lowest operating cost- depends on the particular scenario in which the micro-CHP system works (gas and electricity prices, annual energy demands, ability to export electricity to the grid, etc.). This paper aims to explore this dependence relationship and to deepen our understanding of it. To this end, a parametric analysis is conducted and the performances achieved by four rule-based opera
