This paper investigates an innovative study on the performance of a hybrid condensing boiler-fuel cell micro-cogeneration system for single residential applications. It combines experimental and dynamic numerical investigations including renewable energy for green hydrogen production and solid storage. Basing on the hourly measurements for a typical winter day, a dynamic model was developed and validated against different home heating need. Highlighting the influence home energy needs on fuel cell operating mode, it shows that single homes with low energy demand led to reduce the fuel cell's yearly operation below 50 %. In low-energy homes, a reduction in fuel cell size led to an increase in yearly operation to 60-70 % and achieved a 55 % electrical coverage rate. The integration of metal hydride hydrogen solid storage, powered by renewable sources, is emphasized. This setup increases heat demand, influencing fuel cell operation. In winter season, fuel cell operated for an average of 611 h, compared to 61 h in summer. System efficiency averaged 91 % annually, peaked at 95 % in summer, and sustained 93 % when both FC and condensing boiler were switched on.
