Abstract

The renewable energy sector in a developing country can play a vital role in socio-economic development. With proper utilization of renewable energy resources (RESs) such as photovoltaic (PV) energy system, wind energy system, hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) energy system, etc. may be accepted for renewable electricity generation for urban or rural populations. In this present work, the techno-economic analysis was carried out for the viability of a direct current (DC) based standalone hybrid PV/HFC energy system with hydrogen storage. The PV panel used for the study is monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) with 13.5% efficiency and the study site considered for analysis the hybrid energy system is Madanapalle (13° 33' N and 78° 30' E), Andhra Pradesh, India. The connected electrical load to the hybrid PV/HFC system assumed to be 14 kW. The optimal size obtained for the energy system is 80 kW PV system, 20 kW fuel cell, 50 kW electrolyzer and hydrogen tank of 20 Kg. It is found that the cost of energy (COE) of considered hybrid energy system obtained is 0.161$/kWh.
