I. INTRODUCTION
Distributed energy sources, such as fuel cells, wind
turbines and photovoltaic, can not only provide clean energy
without environmental pollution but also achieve higher
energy efficiency than traditional fossil fuel. Furthermore,
distributed energy sources can reduce transmission loss and
distribution cost. Among all distributed generations, fuel cell
has become the most promising power plant due to its high
efficiency and, furthermore, not being limited to weather
conditions.
However, when fuel cell power plant is connected to
distribution network, problems in power flow control and
power quality need to be resolved. Power conditioning
system (PCS) is developed to solve these problems and
regulates voltage, current and power transmitted into the
utility grid [1].

A. DC Link Voltage
In modeling the converter system, Fig. 4 and Equ. (2)
give the transfer function of each block. The parameters
used are: L=3.4mH, RL=12.3m, C=86mF, RC=5.1m,
kdp=0.0001, kdi=0.001, and kPWM=1. The results of DC/DC
converter model, which is the DC link voltage, are shown in
Fig. 11. Since it is too slow and not necessary for us to run
for 42 days of simulation data, we have only simulated 60
seconds here. In this first 60 seconds, the output voltage of
hybrid DFC/T power plant varied significantly. As we can
see in Fig.11, DC/DC converter and super capacitor have
regulated the voltage into a stable 480V, which has already
been in steady state for a long time. Therefore, 60 seconds
of simulation data is sufficient to prove its stability. The
overshoot is also reduced.

VII. CONCLUSION
This paper presents the model and simulation of a power
conditioning system (PCS) for the hybrid DFC/T power
plant. Three main tasks of the proposed PCS are DC link
voltage regulation, power quality improvement and power
flow control. Correspondingly, PCS is composed of a
DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and an LCL filter. The
modeling process is presented for each part. The PI control
schemes are adopted and systems stability issues are
analyzed in the converter and inverter control. System
parameters and simulation results are given. The PCS is
modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Simulation
results show that the three main problems are solved very
well.
