Abstract: The worldwide demand increase and climate change constraints are leading to integration and maximization of renewable energy sources (RESs) share in the energy production. This represents a key aspect to reduce the pollutant emissions and facilitate the transition to a cleaner future. Many agreements and incentives were discussed and imposed in order to limit the fossil fuel use and thus reducing the pollutant emissions to limit global warming. With this considerations, the renewable energy sources are installed with continuous share increase. To support this implementation and used simultaneously with providing a power reserve for these intermittent power sources, energy storage systems are becoming more and more used and necessary. Simultaneously with these changes, hydrogen is becoming more and more used, being a means by which electricity can be produced without generating greenhouse gas emissions (GGE). A power supply system with multiple sources is presented and its operation is analysed, the system contains photovoltaic panels, wind system, fuel cell, hydrogen generator, electricity and hydrogen storage system to supply the consumption of a student dormitory from a university campus in Romania with prosumer possibilities.
