This has greatly increased the importance of the study on renewable energies which are more environmentally friendly. However, most of the renewable energies such as solar energy and wind energy are intermittent and inconsistent. Thus, second energy system such as battery and fuel cell (FC) are required to provide a continuous power supply to the load and the hybridization of solar photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell and battery energy system had been proposed in this research. Firstly, this research aims to propose an appropriate sizing of photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery systems sufficient to meet the load demand. Next, the development of a stand-alone model of a hybrid photovoltaic/ fuel cell/ battery energy system is carried out in the research by using MATLAB/ Simulink. Finally, this research also aims to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid energy system in terms of its efficiency. Validation also had been done with other articles and journals to prove the system efficiency. In this study, a control strategy of a hybrid PV/ FC/ Battery system for a Malaysian household application had been proposed by using a combination of proportional-integral (PI) controllers and switching controllers. Solar radiation and temperature data are based on location in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and the simulation is done using MATLAB/ Simulink. In this study, the fuel cell is designed as a backup system that operates only when there is no solar radiation and the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is lower than 30%. To evaluate the performance of the proposed control strategy, three different states of SOC have been studied: 30%, 45%, and 100%. In this analysis, the efficiency of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT), boost converter, and bidirectional converter is also being investigated. The result shows that the individual efficiencies of MPPT, PV boost, FC boost and bidirectional converters are 90.38%, 92.33%, 91.35%, and 94.35%, respectively. It can be concluded that the fuel cell works well as a backup generator with overall system efficiency is 71.92%. fahmimoksen UTM 77 p.
