Operation of Solar PV with PEM Fuel Cell for Remote Hybrid Microgrid

The hybrid microgrid gives the platform to use different renewable energy sources productively. This paper shows the hybrid operation of Solar PV and proton exchange membrane(PEM) fuel cell to supply remote hybrid microgrid. The hybrid microgrid can work as smart grid by using intelligent power management control for controlling numbers of small renewable energy sources with fuel storage. The stored hydrogen can be used with hydrogen based electric vehicles. This hybrid microgrid consists of two different grids; AC and DC. The highly efficient PEM-FC and Solar PV falls under green energy sources with almost nonhazardous towards environment with life of almost 15-20 years. The fuzzy logic is used to control flow rate of hydrogen and oxygen to PEM-FC likewise, the two converter are use which are DC-DC and DC-AC. The perturb and observe MPPT technique is used with Solar PV and boost converter is used with PEM-FC. The DC-DC forward converter is used to supply DC grid which is 120V and IGBT based 6 pulse inverter used to supply in AC grid which is 3-Phase VRMS 208V, 60Hz. The proposed model is simulate using MATLAB SIMULINK software.
