Abstract :
The paper introduces hybrid photovoltaic-fuel cell systems for supplying remote power plant. The possibility to introduce a fuel cell generation device in a photovoltaic-wind existing plant for supplying telecommunication apparatus is investigated and the results are reported and discussed in the paper. Starting from measured data, a control system is realized in order to verify the functionality of the plant and the possibility to substitute the diesel generator and the battery with fuel cell
