| | Abstract: | This paper introduces a stochastic output-feedback MPC approach for energyefficient operation of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system in a maritime environment with disturbances. The MPC optimises load tracking within a tightened operating space, where the constraints are adjusted based on closed-loop propagation of disturbances and measurement noise. Specific marine disturbances are considered, allowing their dynamics to be leveraged in the prediction and estimation model. The results compare the proposed approach with a nominal tracking and economic MPC, highlighting trade-offs. In the two presented scenarios, the method achieves a balanced performance between energy efficient and safe operation. |
