Study of a Tri-generation System Using Hydrogen and Fuel Cell in Algiers, Algeria

In this study a tri-generation system, using solar energy as the main energy source was studied. The system contains a photovoltaic generator, a solar water heater system, an absorption chiller, an electrolyzer and a fuel cell to produce electrical energy, heat and cooling for air conditioning. The system was modelled and simulated in Algiers. We found that it can provide energy autonomously to a single-family home without the need for any external supplement.
