Abstract

The aim of the current work is to present a novel energy management strategy (EMS) which constitutes the core of a supervisory control framework. The proposed approach formalizes the knowledge of the system operation using a Finite State Machine (FSM) combined with a propositional-based logic to describe the transitions between the different states of the integrated system. The use of the proposed framework is derived by the operation of a hydrolytic solar hydrogen production unit. Furthermore an optimization study was performed to determine the values of important operating parameters and finally the efficiency of the system is explored.
