Introducing a hybrid photovoltaic solar, proton exchange membrane fuel cell and thermoelectric device system

A new polygeneration system based on photovoltaic solar system, proton exchange membrane fuel cell and thermoelectric device is introduced. This proposed system is able to provide the electrical, thermal and cooling demand. A proton exchange membrane electrolyzer is used to supply the required fuel and oxidant for the fuel cell. Also, the required electrical power of the electrolyzer is supplied by a solar photovoltaic system. Heating and...
