Performance Analysis of DC Micro Grid with PV-Fuel Cell Hybrid Generation

Abstract

Conventional energy resources are being replaced by Renewable energy sources mainly due to increasing environmental concerns. Photovoltaic (PV) and Fuel cell (FC) are suitable to be used in modern DC microgrids due to their DC output. In this research work, a DC microgrid structure is proposed for small residential areas using hybrid PV and FC generation. Power Electronic converters are used to regulate generated voltage of the two sources for integration to a common DC bus. Proposed system is simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK to observe its performance. Simulation results show that output voltage is properly maintained at different DC buses of the microgrid. FC is suitable to cope up the variation in PV output and maintain load requirements.
