A fuel cell being reliable and environment friendly becomes a good choice for the backup so as to compensate for continuously varying solar irradiation. This paper presents simple control schemes for power management of the DC microgrid consisting of PV modules and fuel cell as energy sources and a hydrogen electrolyzer system for storing the excess power generated. The supercapacitor bank is used as a short term energy storage device for providing the energy buffer whenever sudden fluctuations occur in the input power and the load demand. A new power control strategy is developed for a hydrogen storage system. The performance of the system is assessed with and without the supercapacitor bank and the results are compared. A comparative study of the voltage regulation of the microgrid is presented with the controller of the supercapacitor bank, realized using a traditional PI controller and an intelligent fuzzy logic controller.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A new power management strategy for PV-FC-based autonomous DC microgrid}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/108842/PDF/art08.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aee.2018.124742}, keywords={DC microgrids, electrolyzer, fuzzy logic controller, PEM fuel cell, PV array, supercapacitor bank}, }
