Performance analysis of three phase integrated generation of SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell), PV (photovoltaic), with IC MPPT (maximum power point tracking) Controller

Abstract

Following research paper presents hybrid photovoltaic array (PVA), Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and generation network having some related to MPPT, Availability of Sun irradiance, PV String failure & Shadow effect on PV Panel. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell [SOFC] generates electricity directly by electro chemical process. Here SOFC model will generate electricity whenever Solar power fails to generate electricity according to grid code due to switching harmonics. This proposed system increases the Reliability of local distribution system. This proposed hybrid Solar plus SOFC model will sure help in Smart grid implementation. In this paper we have implemented complete three -phase PV with IC MPPT Controller SOFC hybrid generating power system in MATLAB Software.
