Abstract :
Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, etc) are attracting more attention as alternative energy sources to conventional fossil fuel energy sources. Hydrogen energy and photovoltaic is friendly to the environment. In this paper a 500 W PV-fuel cell hybrid generation system is designed. An electrolyzed coupled to the PV array is employed for hydrogen production. Maximum power tracking for PV array is achieved using fuzzy regression. A controller is designed to ensure continuous constant power generation through the day and after sunset via the PV and fuel cell stack. The system is simulated using LabVIEW software. The system characteristics obtained from simulation are analyzed.
