Abstract


This paper presents modeling and control of Photovoltaic/fuel cell/supercapacitor hybrid power system for stand-alone applications. The hybrid power system uses solar PV array and fuel cell as the main sources. These sources share their power effectively to meet the load demand. The supercapacitor bank is used to supply or absorb load transients. The main control system comprises of MPPT controller for PV system, a DC-DC boost converter with controller for fuel cell system for power management and inverter controller to regulate voltage and frequency. The stand-alone hybrid system aims to provide quality supply to consumers with a constant voltage and frequency. The modeling and control strategies of the hybrid system are realized in Matlab/Simulink.


Keywords
