	  abstract     = {This paper discusses the design and analysis of a
hybrid PV-Fuel cell energy system destined to power a DC load. The
system is composed of a photovoltaic array, a fuel cell, an
electrolyzer and a hydrogen tank. HOMER software is used in this
study to calculate the optimum capacities of the power system
components that their combination allows an efficient use of solar
resource to cover the hourly load needs. The optimal system sizing
allows establishing the right balance between the daily electrical
energy produced by the power system and the daily electrical energy
consumed by the DC load using a 28 KW PV array, a 7.5 KW fuel
cell, a 40KW electrolyzer and a 270 Kg hydrogen tank. The variation
of powers involved into the DC bus of the hybrid PV-fuel cell system
has been computed and analyzed for each hour over one year: the
output powers of the PV array and the fuel cell, the input power of
the elctrolyzer system and the DC primary load. Equally, the annual
variation of stored hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer has been
assessed. The PV array contributes in the power system with 82%
whereas the fuel cell produces 18%. 38% of the total energy
consumption belongs to the DC primary load while the rest goes to
the electrolyzer.
