Distributed generation can appear in different forms ranging from conventional technologies (internal combustion engine, photo-voltaic cell etc.) to advanced ones (micro turbine, fuel cell etc.). Among them, wind generation is widely utilized with a hybrid energy storage technology. In hybrid systems fuel cell generator may be used as a supplement because wind generator output fluctuates with weather conditions. Fuel cells are very attractive to be used with intermittent sources of energy, because of high efficiency, fast load response, modularity and fuel flexibility. Simulation studies have proved the feasibility of coordinating fuel cell with wind generator to supply constant or dynamic load for either gridconnected or stand alone applications. In this paper, a dynamic model of grid integrated wind generator-fuel cell hybrid system connected to the test system of distribution network is developed. Dynamic behavior of voltage, power, torque, frequency etc. have been studied at the time of starting of wind generator and faults in the network. The developed model, being simple, could provide a useful tool for the planning of distributed generation
