In this study, a solar-hydrogen hybrid power
generation system is modeled by developing a smart energy management system
(EMS) to sustain a continuous power flow for a local load in a constituted
residential hybrid power plant. The developed EMS checks the total energy
demand of the hybrid power plant and operates the solar power plant or the
hydrogen energy based power plant to provide a sustainable power for the local
load. A new control card is developed and a real-time EMS is performed in
Labview for controlling and monitoring the hybrid system. The implemented
electronic control card manages the active power flow of the hybrid system to
provide a sustainable power demand of the local load. The current energy demand
of the residential power plants can be viable in the lack of the sun or
hydrogen, thanks to the developed EMS. The proposed EMS is modeled in
Matlab/Simulink, and verified by the experimental study. The experimental
results show that the proposed EMS provides a sustainable energy infrastructure
for the residential hybrid power plants, and it is also easy implemented and
suitable for residential real system applications.
