“…2(a) and 2(b), respectively. 19,[46][47][48][49][50][51] AC/DC rectification is available for obtaining DC power in case of both HFAC and PFAC configuration system. The HFAC may also have a PFAC bus and connection to a utility grid system (through a DC/AC or an AC/DC converter), to which AC loads can be connected.…”

“…During the past half century, wide research in the area of AE has been done regarding the feasibility studies, control, modeling and simulation, and experimental work. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Electrification of the isolated and far-flung rural areas, where the grid supply is absent, has acquired much magnitude as a useful way for improving the living values. Based on the AE sources, a number of off-grid systems have been designed for this purpose.…”

The world will need greatly increased energy supply in coming years because of the rapidly increasing world population and depleting natural resources. For a long time, conventional energy sources have been utilized for power generation, but now it is of great concern that the rapid depletion of conventional sources added with their economic and environmental concerns are incompatible to address issues like growing electricity demand and environmental damages. Utilization of the alternative energy sources is compulsory to minimize the energy crisis around the world. Based on the alternative energy sources, a number of power generation systems have been designed to contribute for the management of optimized energy supply systems. The unpredictable nature of alternative energy sources is their common drawback, and they do not harness usable power for some considerable duration of time over the year. Therefore, trends are in progress to integrate two or more than two of these alternative energy systems to meet the required electricity supply in power generation operations. These systems are designated as hybrid systems and can be grid connected or off-grid depending upon their purpose and mode of fabrication. Off grid hybrid systems are popular for the electrification of the isolated and far-flung areas, where the grid supply is absent. This study mainly focuses on main 10 off grid, bi-source hybrid systems for power generation highlighting their role in energy stability. Systems' hybridization, power generation, energy flow schemes, operation schemes, and storage and backup needs have been addressed thoroughly in this study to provide a handy reference to stake holders for further work in this regime.

For the performance test of photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, actual system apparatuses: a solar panel, converter system, and load facilities should be installed. It is also hardly possible to compare a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control scheme with others under the same weather and load conditions in an actual PV generation system. One of the possible alternatives is to realize a transient simulation scheme for PV generation systems under real weather conditions of insolation and surface temperature of solar cell. The authors propose a novel real-time simulation method for PV generation systems under real weather conditions using a real-time digital simulator (RTDS). -curves of a real PV panel are tested using electric load device, and a hypothetical network of the tested PV panel is created on the RTDS by arranging electrical components from the customized component model libraries. The real weather conditions, insolation, and temperature of the PV panel, are interfaced through the analog input ports of the RTDS for real-time simulation. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation technique, and also show that cost-effective verification of availability and stability of PV generation systems is possible using the built-in simulator.

“…It is also one of focus that current energy science technique foundation studies an international competition. So the hybrid generation technology is once put forward, all kinds of power research institutes, higher school, the power company and the factory begin to research the hybrid generation technology [1][2][3][4][5]. At the same time, developed experiment equipment to apply to real power system as the demonstration project.…”

This paper describes a combination of photovoltaic (PV) and fuell cell (FC) hybrid energy system for stationary applications. The system includes solar panels and a FC system working in parallel, an electrolyzer system, power manager unit and storage tanks for the compressed hydrogen. In this hybrid energy system, if the solar radiation level is high enough, the PV array powers the load and the excess power is stored in hydrogen by the electrolyzer. Otherwise, the fuel cell is switched on to generate electricity to complement any shortfall in solar radiation. The model is developed and applied in the MATLAB®, Simulink® and Meteonorm® environment, based on the mathematical and electrical models developed for the proposed system.
