The proposed system adopts a stand-alone hybrid photovoltaic, wind turbine and fuel cell power system without battery storage support. The best combination of these three resources are computationally analyzed to get the optimal result. To obtain the optimal result, the proposed system is analyzed using HOMER software. By adopting the baseline load average of 225 kW or 5,397 kWh/d with peak load of 290 kW, it was obtained that the optimal system is PV array of 7,000 kW, 6 x @250 kW wind turbines, fuel cell of 350 kW which is supported by 2,000 kW electrolyzer.
Index Terms—Fuel cell, hybrid system, photovoltaic, wind turbine.
