Dynamic Modelling and Simulation of the Fuel Cell System for Supplying a Portion of Electric Energyof C-130 Hercules

In this paper، a dynamic model of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) with hydrogen storage for partial electrical generation of C-130 Hercules has been presented. A three-phase two-level inverter is used to connect the fuel cell DC output to the AC system of the Hercules. Another solution would be the direct connection of the output DC terminal of the proposed system to the DC essential bus. The proposed method performance is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The study results indicatethat the voltage level is fixed to an acceptable level and following the electrical load is properly achieved. The proposed method employs an electrolyser to generate the hydrogen and oxygen. By using the stored hydrogen in the proposed structure، the need for batteries for storage purposes would cease to exist. In addition، the oxygen produced can be used in the aircraft in case it’s required.
