In this paper, we present a Stand-alone Power system (SPS). The goal of this system is the ensuring of the electricity production without interruption in remote areas. It consists generally of a five components which are a solar energy, an energy storage that combines a water electrolyze and a storage gas tank, an energy conversion based on a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), an ultra-capacitor storage (UCap) and a suitable energy management unit to manage and to supervise the system operation of the hybrid system. This combination can ensure the optimal behavior of the load with the respect of the slow dynamics of the PEMFC. The integration UCap ensures the elimination of the slow dynamics of the PEMFC during the transient event. A Novel supervisory command is proposed. The modeling of the overall system is given and the obtained results are presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to evaluate a novel control approach for a Hydrogen Consumption System (HCS). A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is considered as a mainly source that supplies a load. An energy flow management approach is detailed in order to satisfy the load requirements despite the absence of any other power source. Finally, an analysis of the simulation results is conducted using Matlab/Simulink software in order to verify the performance of the proposed system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
