Abstract

This project implements a fuel cell model supplying three-phase DC/AC inverter. Hybrid grid with fuel cell based Simulink model has been used. The fuel cell output voltage is comparable to the change of the air (oxidant) pressure, the hydrogen (fuel) pressure, and the current eliminated from the fuel cell. Three-phase DC/AC inverter has been used to supply the AC load. Symmetric space vector pulse width modulation has been used to stimulate the three-phase inverter so that minimum harmonic distortion is on the load side voltage and current. Simulation results have been provided to validate the design. In this project we make a renewal energy based Simulink model which interfaces with fuel cell and battery storage units.

Keywords
