Abstract
Soft computing techniques are important tools that significantly improve the performance of energy systems. This chapter reviews their many contributions to renewable energy hydrogen hybrid systems, namely those systems that consist of different technologies (photovoltaic and wind, electrolyzers, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, piping, thermal and electrical/electronic control systems) capable as a whole of converting solar energy, storing it as chemical energy (in the form of hydrogen) and turning it back into electrical and thermal energy.
Fuzzy logic decision-making methodologies can be applied to select amongst renewable energy alternative or to vary a dump load for regulating wind turbine speed or find the maximum power point available from arrays of photovoltaic modules. Dynamic fuzzy logic controllers can furthermore be utilized to coordinate the flow of hydrogen to fuel cells or employed for frequency control in micro- grid power systems.
