An Improvized Fuel Cell System for Stand-Alone Mode Application

Fuel cell is an emerging energy source, which is characterized with advantages feature like non dependency of environment conditions, clean source of power generation etc. Use of fuel in grid independent operation may be attributed with challenges like load transients and voltage unbalancing. The paper presents and innovative approach to mitigate the challenges face during the grid independent operation of fuel cell. Concept of hybridization at source with wind power via a structured manner is presented. The approach depicts satisfactory performance of system electrical and physical parameters like output active power at the point of common coupling (PCC) and fuel cell anode-cathode channel pressure. The validation of said methodology is presented by simulation platform.
