The article describes the development and simulation of a stand-alone hybrid power system based on a variable-speed diesel generator and a hydrogen fuel cell generation system. The goal of the research was to investigate the electromagnetic processes of this power system, which supplies power to autonomous energy consumers with varying load demand. MATLAB Simulink was used to simulate the proposed hybrid power system and check its operating capacity. The results of the simulation include the dependencies of current and voltage changes in the critical components of the hybrid system at stepwise load rate changes. In the future, the developed models and simulation results will allow researchers to select semiconductor devices and create microprocessor-based control systems for electric power installations that meet specific requirements. The dual-channel power system can provide a required power output of 3 kW when powered by a diesel generator and 1 kW when powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. At the same time, the total harmonic distortion (THD) at a load between 100 W and 3 kW varies within acceptable limits between 3.6% and 4.4%. It is worth noting that these higher power complexes can be incorporated into stand-alone electrical grids as well as centralized distribution systems for power deficit compensation during peak loads.

Abstract

The article describes the development and simulation of a stand-alone hybrid power system based on a variable-speed diesel generator and a hydrogen fuel cell generation system. The goal of the research was to investigate the electromagnetic processes of this power system, which supplies power to autonomous energy consumers with varying load demand. MATLAB Simulink was used to simulate the proposed hybrid power system and check its operating capacity. The results of the simulation include the dependencies of current and voltage changes in the critical components of the hybrid system at stepwise load rate changes. In the future, the developed models and simulation results will allow researchers to select semiconductor devices and create microprocessor-based control systems for electric power installations that meet specific requirements. The dual-channel power system can provide a required power output of 3 kW when powered by a diesel generator and 1 kW when powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. At the same time, the total harmonic distortion (THD) at a load between 100 W and 3 kW varies within acceptable limits between 3.6% and 4.4%. It is worth noting that these higher power complexes can be incorporated into stand-alone electrical grids as well as centralized distribution systems for power deficit compensation during peak loads.
