Abstract:
|
This paper focuses on the design of a controller for a low temperature ethanol steam
reformer for the production of hydrogen to feed a Protonic Exchange Membrane (PEM)
fuel cell. It describes different control structures for the reformer and treats the control
structure selection of this Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system. For each
control structure, decentralised 2x2 controllers with Proportional Integral (PI) control
actions in each control loop are implemented. The PI parameters are tuned and the
performance of the different linear controllers is compared through simulation. For the
evaluation of the proposed controllers, the dynamic response for different initial
conditions and changes in the references is analysed, as well as the behaviour of the
controlled system against disturbances. |
