Fuel cell-based micro grids offer a reliable power source, better energy density, and less maintenance compared to solar photovoltaic and wind hybrid systems. They have a greater flexibility in scaling and emit no emissions. A study simulated a 400 V, 50 Hz utility grid-tied Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) micro grid integrating STATCOM using MATLAB. Results showed that the PEMFC+PWM-VSI STATCOM system reduced reactive power supply from the grid, providing 22.30 KW of active power and 81.87 VAR reactive power as compared to the utility grid which is acting alone.

摘要

Fuel cell-based micro grids offer a reliable power source, better energy density, and less maintenance compared to solar photovoltaic and wind hybrid systems. They have a greater flexibility in scaling and emit no emissions. A study simulated a 400 V, 50 Hz utility grid-tied Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) micro grid integrating STATCOM using MATLAB. Results showed that the PEMFC+PWM-VSI STATCOM system reduced reactive power supply from the grid, providing 22.30 KW of active power and 81.87 VAR reactive power as compared to the utility grid which is acting alone.
