The paper focuses on the experimental results of a series of tests performed on a hybrid electrical source. The hybrid generator is made up of a fuel cell primary source equipped with an ultracapacitor storage device. The paper presents an examination of the steady-state and transient performance of the hybrid fuel cell-ultracapacitor source in terms of power quality. The aim is to investigate on fuel cell-ultracapacitor source’s behavior to feed pulsing loads.

Electrical power demand is increasing at a relatively fast rate over the last years. Because of this increasing demand the power system is becoming very complex. Both electric utilities and end users of electric power are becoming increasingly concerned about power quality. This paper presents a new concept of distributed power flow controller (DPFC), which has been implemented with a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. In this paper, a PEM fuel cell has been simulated in Simulink/MATLAB and then has been used in the proposed DPFC model. The new proposed DPFC model has been tested on a IEEE 30 bus system.

The severe power quality problems aroused by the single-phase 25-kV traction power supply system (TPSS), especially for the voltage unbalance (VU) and high-frequency harmonic resonance, have attracted increasing attention nowadays. In this paper, a novel hybrid power quality compensation system, including a power flow controller (PFC) and thyristor-controlled L and C-type filter (TCL-CTF), is proposed. The PFC can be used for VU compensation, and the TCL-CTF can be designed to filter out harmonics as well as compensate reactive power. Furthermore, an optimized compensation strategy is proposed, and the power quality of the TPSS can meet the requirements of the technology standard. Compared with the conventional scheme, the compensation capacity of the PFC can be reduced by 12%, as well as the cost. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by the simulation and experimental results.
