IV. Hybrid System Modeling and Operational Control Strategy
IV.1. Hybrid System Modeling
Even if the city of Brest receives a small amount of solar radiation throughout the year as shown by Fig. 6, this is enough to generate electric power.
A hybrid power system that consists of a PV generator with an FC system fed by hydrogen is therefore a feasible solution. In addition, it should be noted that FCs with hydrogen tank are used in off-grid hybrid power systems.
Figure 7 shows the HOMER model of the studied
PV/FC hybrid power system.
