Dynamic Behavior of an Hybrid Wind – Fuel Cell Generation System: Active and Reactive Power Control

This paper reports the investigation on a detailed model of a real wind farm together with a fuel cell generation system based on hydrogen. The modeled wind farm is made up of squirrel cage induction machines and the developed fuel cell model is based on solid oxide type. The aim of the work is to analyze the symbiosis between the wind generation and a centralized energy storage system based on hydrogen for a particular wind farm embedded in the electric power system. With this aim, it has been developed an active and reactive power control system and it has been proposed an strategy for the generation of the reference current of the fuel cell.
