Modeling and performance analysis of hybrid fuel cell and microturbine based distributed generation system, 'A review'

Abstract

The hybrid fuel cell and microturbine based distributed generation(DG) systems are predicted to play an important role in power distribution network in the near future. There are several models of hybrid DG sources such as, wind turbine generation with photovoltaic, tidal with geothermal, fuel cell with gas turbine, stealing engine with fly wheel and many more. Among all these source of DG fuel cell and microturbines are the well suitable hybrid DG system due to their power matching, size and operational relation. This paper presents the current status and future development of hybrid fuel cell and microturbine generation system and the research work of various issues related to their interconnection, operation and control in connected to the power distribution network. � 2013 IEEE.
