This paper discusses the design and analysis of a
\r\nhybrid PV-Fuel cell energy system destined to power a DC load. The
\r\nsystem is composed of a photovoltaic array, a fuel cell, an
\r\nelectrolyzer and a hydrogen tank. HOMER software is used in this
\r\nstudy to calculate the optimum capacities of the power system
\r\ncomponents that their combination allows an efficient use of solar
\r\nresource to cover the hourly load needs. The optimal system sizing
\r\nallows establishing the right balance between the daily electrical
\r\nenergy produced by the power system and the daily electrical energy
\r\nconsumed by the DC load using a 28 KW PV array, a 7.5 KW fuel
\r\ncell, a 40KW electrolyzer and a 270 Kg hydrogen tank. The variation
\r\nof powers involved into the DC bus of the hybrid PV-fuel cell system
\r\nhas been computed and analyzed for each hour over one year: the
\r\noutput powers of the PV array and the fuel cell, the input power of
\r\nthe elctrolyzer system and the DC primary load. Equally, the annual
\r\nvariation of stored hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer has been
\r\nassessed. The PV array contributes in the power system with 82%
\r\nwhereas the fuel cell produces 18%. 38% of the total energy
\r\nconsumption belongs to the DC primary load while the rest goes to
\r\nthe electrolyzer.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] D. Santoso, F. D. Setiaji. D.
