Modeling, Control and Optimization of a Small Scale CHP System in Island operating Mode based on Fuzzy logic controller

This paper presents the modeling, control scheme and optimization of a small scale combined heat and power (SSCHP) in island operating mode. A thermo dynamic model is carried out for SSCHP engine using Carnot machine method, while an optimization technique is formulated to identify CHP engine parameters. In addition, a dynamic model is built based on a system identification toolbox for SSCHP engine to study the dynamic behavior of the SSCHP during operating mode. In island mode, the Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to regulate the inputs of SSCHP, and to match electric load demand. The complete system was represented and simulated in Matlab/Simulink.
