International Center for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (ICHET) has implemented a demonstration project including photovoltaic/wind/fuel cell hybrid power system for a standalone mobile house. This concept shows that different renewable sources can be used simultaneously to power off-grid applications. The presented mobile house can produce up to 3.8 kW to provide sufficient power to cover the peak load. Photovoltaic and wind energy are used as primary sources and a fuel cell as backup power for the system. The power budgeting of the system is designed based on the local data of solar radiation and wind availability. Performance analysis, sizing of the various system components and modelling will be carried out as part of applied R&D program.
