Abstract

Polygeneration Microgrids (PMG) are smart energy systems which can be configured for decentralised multiple outputs in the form of electricity, heat, cold, fuel (hydrogen) and drinking water. This paper presents an analysis of a stand-alone PMG, which caters to electrical, thermal and hydrogen loads. The stand-alone PMG consisting of solar photovoltaic field, fuel cell, solid state hydrogen storage and electrolyzer is modelled using commercial software HOMER. An hourly simulation is conducted to analyse its annual performance. A case study is carried out for a typical Indian village of about 50 households needing electrical energy of 100 kWh/day. The by-products of the optimized stand-alone PMG i.e., thermal energy and hydrogen, are quantified. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
