Abstract :
Fuel cell is most promising power source for hybrid operation with conventional and non-conventional energy source. This is due to its operating temperature, power matching and remote application. The fuel cell based distributed generator (DG) source can be operated in combined with wind turbine, photovoitaic´s generation system, gas turbine and many more. The hybrid operation of fuel cell with conventional DG source may increase the reliability, power quality and system stability. This paper presents the hybrid operation of fuel cell with other conventional DG system in utility interconnected mode. In this, it is addressed that, the fuel cell and its hybrid operation with other power generation application are given. The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and microturbine based DG system are more preferred for the efficiency, reliability and performance related issues.
