Different topology of hybrid wind-fuel cell power generation

Abstract

This paper include the different type of wind power plant (WPP) are connected with fuel cells. Due to the fluctuating nature of wind power, another energy source should be integrated with the wind turbine to ensure reliable and efficient operation of the power system. In order to solve this problem, fuel cell may be integrated with the wind turbine. The different types of generators are use in WPP like induction generator, synchronous generator and DC generator. The WPP along with the combination of proton exchange merman (PEM) fuel cell has attracted increasing attention in remote area due to low operating temperature, rapid start-up, high power density & simplicity in operation. Hence hybrid wind-fuel cell system increases the efficiency & extends the duration of the available of power. the purpose of this paper to introduce different type of topology of hybrid wind-fuel cell power generation.
