Performances analysis of WT-DFIG with PV and fuel cell hybrid power sources system associated with hydrogen storage hybrid energy system

This paper highlights the modeling and the simulation of a micro-grid renewable power system. It comprises wind turbine (WT) doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), photovoltaic generator (PV), a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) generator, a water electrolyzer used for long-term storage, a Hydrogen tank, and a battery bank (BB) utilized for short-term storage. Based on the given configuration and the different characteristics of the main components in the micro-grid, an overall control and a power management strategy are proposed for this system. This strategy consists in charging the BBs and producing hydrogen from the water electrolyzer in the case of excess power from the WT-DFIGs and PV generators. Therefore, the FC and the BBs will be used as a backup generator to supply the demand required power, when the WT-DFIGs and the PV energy are deficient. The effectiveness of this contribution is verified through computer simulations, where very satisfactory results are obtained.
