In this article, detailed modeling, simulation, and analysis of an isolated wind-hydrogen hybrid energy system is presented. Dynamic nonlinear models of all the major subsystems are developed based on sets of empirical and physical relationships. The performance of the integrated hybrid energy system is then analyzed through digital simulation. Design of dynamic controllers and supervisory control schemes are also presented. Expected behaviors during sudden load variation, wind speed change and hydrogen pressure drop are observed under both stochastic and step-variation conditions. MATLAB-Simulink (TM) is employed for dynamic system modeling. This exercise, in essence, outlines a process of wind-hydrogen off-grid system control synthesis and performance evaluation. Finally, results of the analysis are summarized, limitations of the simulation study are identified, and scope for future work is indicated. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
