A proton-exchange membrane fuel cell and ultra-capacitor system model for stand-alone residential applications

Energy consumption by sector in Malaysia is rising significantly, especially for residential and commercial sectors, expected to continue increase the upcoming years. The existing power generated from a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system may be insufficient sustain peak load demands during periods stationary applications. presence of an ultra-capacitor (UC) bank would beneficial as support it can supply large burst power. integration PEMFC UC has potential provide effective way demands, better energy efficiency, also economically friendly. In this research, we demonstrate proposed combined that operates parallel. A novel design methodology dynamic model both systems sources have been developed stand-alone simulation results are shown Matlab Simulink. These based on mathematical models being shown.
