Abstract

Fuel cell systems represent an emerging electric energy technology and provide significant benefits for our environment, health and development. Over the last decade, researches are being undertaken to bring the technologies into their commercial maturity. With their gaining interest, they show important opportunities in powering remote areas with no connection to the power utility grid. In this paper, we explore potential environmental, social and economic benefits linked to this technology in supplying electric power to rural communities.

Keywords: renewable energy hybrid power systems photovoltaic systems fuel cell
