Abstract

This paper proposes a control strategy for a Reverse Fuel Cell used to manage a Renewable Energy Community. A two-stage scenario-based Model Predictive Control algorithm is designed to define the best economic strategy to be followed during operation. Renewable energy generation and users' demand are forecasted by a suitably defined Discrete Markov Chain based method. The control algorithm is able to take into account the uncertainties of forecasts and the nonlinear behaviour of the Reversible Fuel Cell. The performance of proposed approach is tested on a Renewable Energy Community composed by an aggregation of industrial buildings equipped with PV.
