Abstract :Because of their low impact on environment, PV/wind hybrid systems which use fuel cells (FCs) as the energy storage device are one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In such systems, optimum configuration (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 (CS), harmony search (HS) and simulated annealing (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.Keywords : Hybrid systems, PV/wind/fuel cell, Optimum configuration
