Selected problems connected to the use of fuel cells in energy-system are introduced in the paper. The studies concerning the system for electricity and heat generation, consisting of a photovoltaic panels, hydrogen generators and PEM-type fuel cell are presented. For the generation of hydrogen with the use of electrolysis method electricity generated by renewable energy sources is used. A system for transformation of the electricity generated in photovoltaic panels and used for powering hydrogen generators was developed and realized. The fuel cells used consist of two stacks of electrical output, 360 W each. They are equipped with a complex supply system of: hydrogen fuel, air, cells cooling together with regulatory and protection system. It allowed to make the analysis of working parameters of the fuel cell for different electrical loads and with various amounts of supplied air, as well as for different conditions of cell cooling. The developed system for data collecting and acquisition allows for simultaneous recording of the data from all elements of the measuring position. The aim of the study is the development of a demonstration installation of an autonomous system for electricity generation using renewable energy sources and having the possibility of hydrogen fuel storage, in the case of reduced electricity demand.
