Design and Simulation Studies of Hybrid Power Systems Based on Photovoltaic, Wind, Electrolyzer, and PEM Fuel Cells

In recent years, the need to reduce environmental impacts and increase flexibility in energy sector has led increased penetration of renewable sources shift from concentrated decentralized generation. A fuel cell is an instrument that produces electricity by chemical reaction. Fuel cells are a promising technology for ultimate conversion We see this system integrated, where we find wind photovoltaic complementary between them, because not all days sunny, windy, or night, so higher reliability provide continuous At low load hours, PV electrolysis units produce extra power. After being compressed, hydrogen stored tanks. The purpose study separate Bahr AL-Najaf Area main power grid make it independent network itself. PEM were analyzed designed, found one layer equal 570.96 Watt at 0.61 volts 1.04 A/Cm2. number layers stack designed be 13 layers, total 7422.48 Watt. That is, stacks required generate 203 stk. This provided analysis hybrid cover demand region 1.5 MW, attained TNPC cost was about 9,573,208 USD, whereas capital (COE) 7,750,000 USD 0.169 USD/kWh respectively, year.
