PV- FC Hybrid System and Its Power Management Strategies in a Grid

Chandan Kumar Tiwary , Dr. Amita Mohar

This paper shows the work done on the method to operate a grid connected hybrid system which is composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell .With the proton exchange membrane the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Here the system uses two operation modes, the unitpower control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode. This papers discusses the coordination of two control modes, the coordination of the PV array and the proton exchange membrane fuel cell in hybrid system and the way in which the reference parameters are determined. The proposed operating strategy with a flexible operation mode change always operates the The PV array operates at maximum output power and the Proton Exchange membrane cell in its high efficiency performance band, using the proposed strategy which has a flexible operation mode thus improving the performance of system operation with enhance stability and reduction in number of operating mode change.
