Abstract :
As a promising renewable energy source, fuel cell can play an important role to meet the increasing power demand worldwide. A detailed analysis of MATLAB/SIMULINK based fuel cell generation has been modeled in this paper. Along with this generation topology power electronics based flexible AC transmission system (FACTS), D-STATCOM, is introduced. The purpose of the D-STATCOM is to improve the transient stability of the fuel cell system. Different fault case scenarios are tested with the model system in order to verify the effectiveness of D-STATCOM. The stability enhancement using this control strategy has been verified by the time domain simulation model developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
