The fuel cell considered here is the hydroplus fuel cell, which has minimum emissions, and eliminates the need for hydrogen storage. Mathematical modeling is based on experimentally obtained parameters for fuel consumption coefficients and emissions. The study considers an islanded mode of operation with two different scenarios of microgrid configuration, the first case with the hybrid microgrid working under optimal power conditions, and the second case with only diesel generator available to meet the load demand, for four representative months of the year. Comparing the operations cost under the two scenarios, replacement of a diesel generator-based microgrid, with a PV/battery/hydroplus fuel cell/diesel generator based microgrid resulted in reduction of daily operations cost by 54.06%, 35.25%, 34.38% and 32.71% for the months of January, April, July and October respectively. A sensitivity analysis with varied costs of fuel, operation and maintenance, and battery degradation proved that irrespective of these costs, a considerable amount of reduction in the operations cost is achieved. The results presented here are highly beneficial for application in microgrids worldwide. 2025 IEEE.
