Analysis of Grid Integrated PV, Fuel Cell Hybrid System

Abstract

Nowadays, The use of renewable energy sources has recently gained widespread attention. Due to the clean energy they provide, both grid-integrated and stand-alone systems have increased their reliance on renewable sources of electricity. Integrating many sources is necessary because of the intermittent nature of PV, wind, etc. The hybrid system is more effective and reliable. The purpose of this article is to conduct a technical and economic analysis of a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cell (FC) system connected to a utility grid. To address the electrical load need of academic block 1, Jntu Jagityal, a grid-tied solar photovoltaic-fuel cell (PV-FC)-based hybrid energy system is presented in this study. The system is developed with, a fuel cell, PV panels, hydrogen storage tank, and electrolyzer  . Reliability constraints for grid also  considered
