Abstract

In recent years, the use of hydrogen energy and, therefore, fuel cells in power systems has been increasing. However, as with every unit added to the microgrid, fuel cells are required so that the power quality of the electrical grid does not deteriorate. On the other hand, in addition to fuel cells, many devices negatively affecting power quality are also in the microgrid structure. In this study, fuel cell-induced power quality degradations are detected to prevent the fuel cell from being completely damaged. In the case of multiple simultaneous degradations, the degradation source is determined. Thus, microgrid and fuel cell protection can be provided by making the relevant relay switch on time.
