1. Introduction

A Standalone Hybrid System (HS) supplies the load by electricity without connection to the centralized power stations. Hybrid systems (HS) used in remote areas, where there are no electricity sources available therefore, selection of hybrid systems (HS) are Suitable for these areas. The paper purpose is to simulate and model the various components of a Photovoltaic Fuel-Cell (PVFC) hybrid system which is preferred to provide the demands of electric for areas far from the grid. Modeling and simulations for the presented system are performed using Simulink/ MATLAB package and results are presented to verify the effectiveness of this system.

The photo-voltaic energy (PV) is widely used in low power system applications among the renewable energy sources. PV generators have many advantages such as being pollution free, long life, silent, time etc. photo-voltaic (PV) have variable output power depending on the weather conditions variations [1, 2]. One way for overcoming this problem is to integrate and Combine the photo-voltaic array with other power sources for example, Fuel cell (FC). The selection of FC beak up power supply is a very attractive when it used with an intermittent source of power generation such as photo-voltaic power due to several attractive features of FC like fast load response and efficiency [3, 4]. PV installed considered as one of the alternative energy sources for clean generated energy. The power produced in a PV is in DC power form. Whereas certain cases may allow the direct using of the generated DC power from PV, while frequently required to convert the generated DC power to an AC power for control and integration into load system.

A Hybrid Systems consisting of PV-wind-diesel is used in [5, 6]. But due to increasing cost of diesel and use of the diesel environmental pollution is created that makes the operation of diesel engine prohibited. Another type of Hybrid Systems consisting of a wind-hydro is fed grid and inverter used to fed AC load where the power converters are used to improve the precision of the power system [7, 8].

FLC has been employed as a maximum power point tracking tool in [9]. The FLC was also used as a tool for power management in the standalone PV power system described in [10].  The work presented in [11] shows that the stand alone a hybrid power system and can be improved with FLC when it is used as management power for the best operation.

2. A Dynamic Model of Hybrid System

The equivalent circuit of the PV and the various equations leading to equation are provided in [1];

As shown in Figure 1, the Simulink model of the module and PV generator is Consists of diode,  photo current source, series and parallel resistor which describing the internal resistance to the current flow and expressing the leakage current. All data of system is written in our paper [11]. In Figure 2, the V-I characteristic curves of the simulated module at various irradiance levels and at various PV cell temperatures. It is seen that at constant PV cell temperature, increasing the irradiance will increase the short circuit current largely and increase the open circuit voltage slightly.

Figure 1. Simulink model of the module and PV generator

The parts of the system as Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel-Cell (PEMFC), Hydrogen Storage System data and equations are written in reference [11]. Figure 3, is shown the voltage-current density (V-I) characteristic of the FC module.  While Figure 4, is shown a complete Simulink model for the Electrolyzer.

Since variable voltage needed so, the buck-boost converter is preferred. It is converting the supply voltage source to higher and lower voltages at the load terminals. The voltage of load terminals is controlled by continuously adjusting the duty ratio of the buck-boost converter power switch. Since the voltage polarity at the load terminal is opposite to the voltage polarity at the source terminal for most DC/DC converter types. In steady state condition, the inverting type buck-boost converter output voltage is given in Equation [2];

Figure 2. V–I characteristic curves of the PV module

Figure 3. Characteristic curve of the FC module for the theoretical and actual voltage.

Figure 4. A brief model of electrolyzer model using Simulink

Thus, the output voltage can be regulated by controlling duty ratio of the used semi-conductor output voltage to higher or lower than the voltage of the source through properly control the MOSFET power switch operating duty ratio. The characteristic of the buck-boost depends on the value of the capacitor and inductor. The considered factors to determine the value of inductance include the input voltage range, the output voltage range, the inductor maximum current, and the switching frequency. The capacitor is used to regulate the voltage. The capacitance depends on the inductor current ripple, the switching frequency, and the desired output voltage ripple. Figure 5 is showing the Buck-Boost converter DC control model by MATLAB/Simulink.

Figure 7. Single Phase PWM Inverter

The output voltage regulation of the Buck-Boost Converter is carried out using a PID controller as shown in Figure 6. Then, the controller output used as reference value for the PWM module to generate the required pulses with a suitable duty cycle.

Inverter modelling is a simple topology with a IGBT H-bridge inverter and a linear transformer which is simple to be implemented and completely isolated. The inverter converts the DC/AC with RMS value and Frequency suitable for the connected loads. Figure 7, indicate the MATLAB/Simulink model for the single phase PWM VSI with linear transformer.

3. Control System

3.1.  MPPT Algorithm

Figure 8 a present perturb and observe algorithm, (P&O) while a simply changes a variable X, is a variable in current, voltage or duty cycle (D). to obtain the next X, ΔX stay as it during ΔT, then obtain power output of PV array.

3.2.  FLC Management

The order by FLC offer the advantage of being robust, efficient and works to the control management between the level of tank H₂ and the power demand of the load FL is control of the ON/OFF inverter switch.  There are different ways to implement a fuzzy regulator but in general the presentation adopted splits up in three steps: the fuzzification, inference and defuzzification as shown in figure 9. Figure 10, shows the implementation of our fuzzy regulator, [12]-[13].

4. System and Results

All Simulation done in Simulink/MATLAB by making each component separately then combines them together. All system blocks have been studied and implemented to ensure Each part of  the system block is enough precise to run the MATLAB/simulation and giving the adequate results. The PV module  array for solar panels, Buck-Boost convertor with MPPT and Regulation, electrolyzer, Hydrogen tank, FC Stack, and the single-phase inverter have been created and well matched with each other. Figure 11, is showing the MATLAB/Simulink model for the whole hybrid system. The PV Array used to provide the FC system with its requirements from the power through the Electrolyzer which generate the required Hydrogen to be used as input for the Fuel Cell Stack to generate its output terminal voltage to feed the loads connected to its terminals via a single phase PWM VSI.

The maximum voltage from PV is designed to be 300 V, nevertheless the PV panel maximum power (MP) is varying due to weather, a (P&Q) MPPT algorithm is used to get the maximum power (MP) from the photo-voltaic panels via the Buck/Boost Converter. In this simulation, the photo-voltaic panels maximum voltage and current were obtained and the electrolyzer became able to generate hydrogen with maximum output. The generated Hydrogen is stored at Storage Tank which is connected to the FC Stack. The Fuel-Cell Stack when fed with the required Hydrogen level it produces its Actual output voltage which depends on the Hydrogen pressure value and its current density. The output voltage from the FCs input to a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter to step-up or down its voltage to a stabilized level suitable for the inverter input terminals. The inverter output AC voltage is used to fed the loads connected its output terminals.

Two scenarios used to examine the system. First, the design performance is observed and when the irradiance and temperature variations with and without MPPT. Secondly, the entire system performance is observed when constant irradiance (1000 W/m²) and temperature (25^oC) and load variable.

The photo-voltaic panels were tested in order to supply a certain load as long as it is available and to supply the Fuel-Cell System with its required power to generate the required Hydrogen value for its operation when it needed. The electrolyzer consumes some of the generated power from photo-voltaic panels. along with the system the DC/DC Buck/Boost convertor with a MPPT algorithm used to regulate and maintain the current values feeding the electrolyzer. MATLAB/Simulink used for simulation and helping to combine and integrate such hybrid systems. FLC used to model system that manages power between the level of H₂ tank and the load demand. The simulation results for some models are shown which indicate the validity of the whole system.
