Power Quality Improvement of Fuel Cell Integrated With Grid System

Abstract

This paper discusses some crucial energetic, environmental and sustainability issues and the role of fuel cell. The fuel cells are none but they are a no-conventional energy resource which enhances the overload capabilities of existing power system and makes old power system comparatively efficient technologies as one of the potential solutions to these issues. The commercialization plans in various industrialized countries for these technologies have started by identifying the most likely early markets for fuel cells as power producing devices from micro- to macroapplications, and set realistic near-term and mid-term goals for selected market penetration. The plans outline the major barriers to achieving those goals. This paper proposes a simulink model of integrated system. These systems are fuel cell and conventional generating station. The performance of integrated system improved by using the FACTS devices.
