AbstractThe photovoltaic power system has a great future as a clean‐energy alternative to fossil fuel which has many environmental problems such as gas exhaustion or air pollution. Sunlight, a source of energy for the system, is influenced greatly by weather conditions, seasons and times of day. Therefore it cannot supply constant electric power.The photovoltaic/fuel cell power hybrid system is assumed. It combines PV array, hydrogen generator, storage tank and fuel cells by using hydrogen. This system can supply constant electric power to the electric load in a solitary island separated from a commercial electric network.The possibility of this system is examined by computer simulation. Input data include the global irradiance on inclined plane and temperature of HASP data of Tokyo, ten kinds of electrical load forms with 400 MWh electric power a year, and conversion efficiencies of each subsystem.As a result of simulation, it was revealed that the area of PV array with 8170 m2 and the volume of hydrogen tank from 22 × 103 to 30 × 103 kl are necessary.
