Abstract:
Renewable energy is one of the energy sources that can overcome global energy crisis
problem. The renewable energy sources consist of sun, wind, tides, waves,
geothermal, biomass and a biogas. PEMFC is one of the renewable energy source
using biogas. It involved an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen
gases to produce electricity. Many researches had been conducted to make PEMFC as
a source of the future energy. For this study, the development of the renewable energy
system using PEMFC is mainly focused. The renewable energy system consists of
renewable energy source, the power conditioner and the load. The renewable energy
source used in this study was PEMFC. The power conditioner used was the inverter to
converted Direct current (DC) into Alternate current (AC). The load can be any
devices that used an AC current. The development of the system starts from the
experimental stage using a PEMFC kit. Then it proceeds into simulation stage using
Proteus software and the Breadboarding stage. The result of this study produce an AC
wave form that can be used to operate an AC type devices, these will make a PEMFC
as another source of energy and thus reduce the dependency of energy demands in this
world.
