Abstract

This paper treats the design and control of two hybrid source using supercapacitors, fuel cell, with and without batteries on the DC link. A fuel cell, as a slowest dynamic source in these systems (because of its auxiliaries) acts to supply the permanent energy. The supercapacitors, as a high dynamic and high power density device, compensate the intrinsic limitations in embedded sources and shave transient power peaks. The batteries module, as a high energy density device, operates for supplying energy if limitations of the power and energy sources occur. The load is a single phase DC machine connected directly in the DC bus. Our interest is focused on the comparison of the two structures and on the principles of control of this two hybrid power sources. Some results are presented and discussed.
