ABSTRACT

In this paper, a detailed dynamic model and simulation of a solar cell/wind turbine/hydro turbine/ fuel cell/vanadium redox flow battery hybrid power system is developed using a novel topology to complement each other and to alleviate the effects of environmental variations. Modeling and simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink software packages to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed hybrid power system can tolerate the rapid changes in natural conditions and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the voltage within the acceptable range.
