Abstract :
The load sharing in a hybrid power system with PV panels and a PEM fuel cell is described. The system draws the maximum power available from the PV panels at any given light level while the fuel cell supplies the balance demanded by the load. The power system maintains a constant output voltage with the help of a PI controller.
