PEM fuel cells with bio-ethanol processor systems: a multidisciplinary study of modelling, simulation, fault diagnosis and advanced control

An apparently appropriate control scheme for PEM fuel cells may actually leadto an inoperable plant when it is connected to other unit operations in a process with recycle streams and energy integration. PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems presents a control system design that provides basic regulation of the hydrogen production process with PEM fuel cells. It then goes on to construct a fault diagnosis system to improve plant safety above this control structure. PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems is divided into two parts: the first covers fuel cells and the second discusses plants forhydrogen production from bio-ethanol to feed PEM fuel cells. Both parts give detailed analyses of modeling, simulation, advanced control, and fault diagnosis. They give an extensive, in-depth discussion of the problems that can occurin fuel cell systems and propose a way to control these systems through advanced control algorithms. A significant part of the book is also given over to computer-aided engineering software tools that can be used to evaluate the dynamic performance of the overall plant. PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems is intended for use by researchers and advanced students on chemical, electrical-electronic and mechanical engineering courses in which dynamics and control are incorporated with the traditional steady-state coverage of flowsheet synthesis, engineering economics and optimization. Offers readers from a variety of backgrounds the opportunity to learn how to handle fuel cell related problems. Proposes novel solutions to fuel cell related problems, using advanced control algorithms. Presents a deep discussion about several aspects of the typical problems in fuel cells. INDICE: 1.
