Abstract :Because of their low impact on environment, PV/wind hybrid systems which use fuel cells insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FCs); as the energy storage device are one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In such systems, optimum configuration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(sizing); plays an important role for decreasing the system cost. In this paper, PV/wind/FC system is modeled and a hybrid metaheuristic technique based on chaotic search insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CS);, harmony search insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HS); and simulated annealing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SA); is employed to find the optimum configuration. Optimum configuration is found for PV/FC, wind/FC, and PV/wind/FC systems and the results are compared.
