Abstract

This paper introduces a study of design and performance of Photovoltaic / Fuel Cells Smart Electrical Power System, PV/FC SEPS, to supply a load in a remote area has the same latitude of Elminia city. Since the output of PV system depends on solar radiation then the FC starts automatically by using Artificial Neural Network, ANN, when solar radiation is insufficient to feed the load demand. By using this operation strategy the FC works as a back- up power supply. The performance of the system for a step change in the electrical load and solar radiation are presented. Analysis of the system’s response and its limitations are discussed.
