Abstract
The energy conversion equations describing the total power generated by a hybrid system of solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell as well as hydrogen storage were presented, and integrated simultaneously. For the purpose of validating, this simulation model, the aforementioned equations were coded with MATLAB V13.2 and used for optimization and design purposes. A block diagram approach was used during the simulation with MATLAB. In order to validate and tune up the predicted output results, on-site data was used to validate the simulation program under various conditions. Comparison between the data and predicted results showed a fair agreement.
Highlights
There are many reasons for using distributed generation such as for standby or emergency generation as well as backup
In order to solve the aforementioned equation (1) through (19) and taking into account that total power may not be simultaneous, and for validation purposes, this simulation model and the above mentioned equations were coded with MATLAB V13.2 and can be used as an optimization and design tool for hybrid systems
A block diagram approach was used during the simulation with MATLAB
Summary
There are many reasons for using distributed generation such as for standby or emergency generation as well as backup. This paper presents a numerical approach that can determine the optimal design of a hybrid solar photovoltaic, wind turbine and fuel cell power system for either on or off the grid applications.
