A new improved of incorporating photovoltaic energy into the production of green hydrogen

Abstract

The integration of renewable energies, particularly photovoltaic energy, into green hydrogen production presents a highly promising prospect in the energy sector. Nonetheless, these energy sources face challenges due to their inherent instability and susceptibility to various atmospheric factors such as temperature and illumination. Therefore, it's imperative to tackle these challenges before renewable energy can be widely adopted as a primary source in hydrogen production. To address this, we propose constructing an autonomous photovoltaic system using MATLAB software. This system will employ a DC-DC boost converter to connect the PV array to the load. Furthermore, to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, we will implement the perturbation and observation maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach. The research endeavor extends towards integrating this optimized system with an electrolysers developed a sophisticated electrolyte model utilizing MATLAB Simulink software, paving the way for hydrogen gas production.
