Abstract

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) spread out at the end of 2019 has sadly caused millions of human losses and hundreds of millions of cases and stressful health situations. As a result, governments forced the worldwide population to stay confined and change their social activities and working behaviors. Under such conditions all economic sectors have been impacted, therefore global electricity consumption pattern has changed consequently. The object of this study is to calculate energy drop for such circumstances to make strategies to face such events in the future. The study we conducted during the period of confinement aims to identify the effects of the Corona epidemic on electricity consumption in Algeria by emphasizing four months (March, April, May, and June) for four years (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021) by comparing monthly load curves and calculating load deviation for each month.

Abstract

This work presents a simulation study of a 50-kW solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power supply system that provides electricity to residential users. Indeed, many decentralized applications rely on renewable energy sources not connected to the primary power grid. Moreover, fuel cell modelling and simulation are critical for promoting renewable energy as they eliminate the need for physical prototypes, saving time and money. We have also developed a reliable model for simulating self-contained SOFC fuel cells. The elaborated model includes the kinetics of electrochemical processes and accounts for voltage losses in SOFCs. Our fuel cells produce the necessary electrical current to charge the device. Also, our system has fuel cells, a DC/DC converter, and an inverter with LCL filters. These components connect the fuel cell system to other power electronics and the electrical load. Furthermore, a mathematical model of a dual inverter system describes its control method, including the proportional and integral parameters in the voltage and current loops has been derived. The proposed model and system could be helpful for a standalone load.
