Control-Oriented Modeling of the Cooling Process of a PEMFC-Based μ-CHP System

Abstract

Here you will find a model of the cooling system of a PEMFC-based micro-CHP system. This model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink, version 9.3.0.713579 (R2017b). The model and the tests conducted for its development are described in detail in the following paper:

In this folder (uCHP_Cooling_System), you will find the following files:

Complete_Model_M.slx Complete_Model_V.slx Filter.m Modeling_Test.mat Parameters.mat S_Complete_Model_M.m S_Complete_Model_V.m Validation_Test.mat

In both Complete_Model_M.slx and Complete_Model_V.slx you will find the implementation of the complete model in Simulink. The only difference between them is that the former is prepared for the data set from the modeling test (Modeling_Test.mat) and the latter for the data set from the modeling test (Validation_Test.mat).

In order to launch the simulations, you have to run the scripts S_Complete_Model_M.m and S_Complete_Model_V.m, respectively.

The file Parameters.mat contain the values of the parameters of the model. The file Filter.m is just a filter, which is used in both scripts.

Please, read the comments in the scripts mentioned for more information.

Thanks.
