Abstract

Typically, telecom power systems are connected to grid and diesel generator. This paper represents a new telecom power system using local micro-sources (fuel cell and micro-turbine). Some benefits of this system are effectively eliminating batteries, diesel generator and automatic transfer switch. In this paper, a new multiple input buck-boost converter is utilized as an interface between the micro-sources and the DC bus. Peak current mode control is used to control the current of fuel cell while voltage mode control is used to regulate the output voltage. A model for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM FC) and Micro-Turbine (MT) along with their subcomponents and internal controls are presented. Furthermore, the parallel operation of FC and MT using the proposed multiple input DC/DC converter is investigated. In addition, the dynamic response of the system to the dynamic behavior of the load is analyzed.
