“…It can be concluded from the aforesaid discussion that the proposed FC-PV hybrid energy system provides LCOE of 0.228 $/kWh with a LPSP of 0.053 %, which is very much competitive with the other LCOEs found in current literature [10,24] which are 0.20 $/kWh, and 0.228 $/kWh, receptively. The FC-PV based energy system proving to be a reliable and cost effective energy system for off-grid locations, the LCOE of the system generated is very much competitive with other kinds of hybrid energy system found in literature such as hybrid biomass-PV-wind [21], biomass-PV [25] and solar-wind-FC [26] with an LCOE of 0.18 $/kWh, 0.185 $/kWh, and 0.47 $/kWh, respectively.…”

Renewable energy has become very popular in recent years. The amount of renewable generation has increased in both grid-connected and stand-alone systems. This is because it can provide clean energy in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly fashion. Among all varieties, photovoltaic (PV) is the ultimate rising star. Integration of other technologies with solar is enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the system. In this paper a fuel cell–solar photovoltaic (FC-PV)-based hybrid energy system has been proposed to meet the electrical load demand of a small community center in India. The system is developed with PV panels, fuel cell, an electrolyzer and hydrogen storage tank. Detailed mathematical modeling of this system as well as its operation algorithm have been presented. Furthermore, cost optimization has been performed to determine ratings of PV and Hydrogen system components. The objective is to minimize the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of this standalone system. This optimization is performed in HOMER software as well as another tool using an artificial bee colony (ABC). The results obtained by both methods have been compared in terms of cost effectiveness. It is evident from the results that for a 68 MWh/yr of electricity demand is met by the 129 kW Solar PV, 15 kW Fuel cell along with a 34 kW electrolyzer and a 20 kg hydrogen tank with a LPSP of 0.053%. The LCOE is found to be in 0.228 $/kWh. Results also show that use of more sophisticated algorithms such as ABC yields more optimized solutions than package programs, such as HOMER. Finally, operational details for FC-PV hybrid system using IEC 61850 inter-operable communication is presented. IEC 61850 information models for FC, electrolyzer, hydrogen tank were developed and relevent IEC 61850 message exchanges for energy management in FC-PV hybrid system are demonstrated.

“…The optimum system was determined as PV/WT/PEMFC because of the lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) which was calculated 0.47 $/kWh. 14 Chen and Wang designed a hybrid system for a greenhouse. Considering the cost, they preferred PV over WT.…”

In this study, it is aimed to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of a house without interruption with the photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, methanol electrolyzer, and high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. The system results show that the use of the 2 WT with 18 PV was enough to provide the need of the methanol electrolyzer, which provides requirements of the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The produced heat by the fuel cell was used to meet the heat requirement of the house with combined heat and power system. Electrical, thermal and total efficiencies of fuel cell system with combined heat and power were obtained as 38.54%, 51.77% and 90%, respectively. Additionally, the levelized cost of energy of the system was calculated as 0.295 $/kWh with combined heat and power application. The results of this study show that H 2 is useful for long-term energy storage in off-grid energy systems and that the proposed hybrid system may be the basis for future H 2-based alternative energy applications.
