(PDF) FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SOLAR PV-FUEL CELL HYBRID
Findings from this study indicate that, a hybrid system comprising of 79 kWp PV panel, 15 kW fuel cell, 60 kW electrolyser, 60 kg hydrogen tank, 3 kW converter and 340 kWh battery storage meet the
This study investigates the viability of deploying solar PV/fuel cell hybrid system to power telecom base stations in Ghana. Furthermore, the study tests the proposed power system resilience by comparing its technical, economic, and environmental performance to PV/diesel and diesel power systems.
This study has investigated the possibility of deploying a solar PV/Fuel cell hybrid system to power a remote telecom base station in Ghana. The study aims to lower the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced from the hybrid power system.
Presently in Ghana, base stations located in remote communities, islands, and hilly sites isolated from the utility grid mainly depend on diesel generators for their source of power. This study presents an analysis on deploying a PV/fuel hybrid system as a possible substitute for existing diesel power systems and even grid-connected base stations.
These suppliers and installers have been granted a permit from the Energy Commission of Ghana to supply and install PV systems. Per the data obtained in, the average cost of PV panels with accessories was estimated at 745 USD/kW. A 10% margin for installation was added, increasing PV capital cost to 820 USD/kW.
Findings from this study indicate that, a hybrid system comprising of 79 kWp PV panel, 15 kW fuel cell, 60 kW electrolyser, 60 kg hydrogen tank, 3 kW converter and 340 kWh battery storage meet the
