“…Investigations revealed that while the Cu/NiMo cathode has the highest hydrogen production, the Cu cathode has the lowest. Moreover, although an electrolyte's temperature does not affect hydrogen production and lowers the required power (Rahim et al 2015), an electrolyte solution's concentration affects the output. Therefore, the main difference between PEM and AWE is the electrolyte type since PEMs use a solid polymer membrane electrolyte, but AWEs use a corrosive liquid electrolyte.…”

“…Their investigations revealed that although the system with direct coupling had an efficiency close to the system with MPPT, the capital cost of the system with MPPT was higher. Another study also mentioned that increasing MPPT efficiency increased hydrogen production (Rahim et al 2015). Therefore, the PEM electrolyzer is suitable for PV/H 2 due to its ability to deal with load fluctuation and its lowest cold startup property, among other types (Paul and Andrews 2008), as illustrated in Table 3.…”

Hydrogen energy, as clean and efficient energy, is considered significant support for the construction of a sustainable society in the face of global climate change and the looming energy revolution. Hydrogen is one of the most important chemical substances on earth and can be obtained through various techniques using renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. However, the necessity for a gradual transition to renewable energy sources significantly hampers efforts to identify and implement green hydrogen production paths. Therefore, this paper’s objective is to provide a technological review of the systems of hydrogen production from solar and wind energy utilizing several types of water electrolyzers. The current paper starts with a short brief about the different production techniques. A detailed comparison between water electrolyzer types and a complete illustration of hydrogen production techniques using solar and wind are presented with examples, after which an economic assessment of green hydrogen production by comparing the costs of the discussed renewable sources with other production methods. Finally, the challenges that face the mentioned production methods are illuminated in the current review.

The current trend is to use renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy to produce hydrogen. It is necessary for us to make a comparison of the effect of each of these sources on hydrogen production, and which one is more efficient in different environmental variables. This paper studied and modeled two sources of renewable energy which are Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Turbine (WT) to power Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrolyzer (PEMEL). By using MATLAB software, it is measured the input, and output power of PV and WT, the efficiency of the MPPT controller, and calculated the green hydrogen production rate and efficiency of each system separately. It is analyzed under variable irradiance from 600 to 1000 W/m2 for a PV system and fixed temperature equal to 25°C. While under variable wind speed from 10 to 14 m/s and zero fixed pitch angle for WT system. The results obtained that, the optimal power of WT to feed PEMEL is to be approximately two times PEMEL powered. Also, PV system is designed to be equal to PEMEL power. This study will be a reference for designing PV or WT to feed an electrolyzer.

“…The authors of [22] presented a mathematical model implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment by means of which they adjusted the voltage and current characteristics of the electrolyzer to the power point of the maximum characteristic I = f(U) of the photovoltaic installation. The information obtained in this way allowed the authors to determine the number of cells with which the electrolyzer was to be built in order to make the production of hydrogen the most efficient under specific conditions.…”

Different hydrogen production scenarios need to be compared in regard to multiple, and often distinct aspects. It is well known that hydrogen production technologies based on environmentally-friendly renewable energy sources have higher values of the economic indicators than methods based on fossil fuels. Therefore, how should this decision criterion (environmental) prevail over the other types of decision criteria (technical and economic) to make a scenario where hydrogen production only uses renewable energy sources the most attractive option for a decision-maker? This article presents the results of a multi-variant comparative analysis of scenarios to annually produce one million tons of pure hydrogen (99.999%) via electrolysis in Poland. The compared variants were found to differ in terms of electricity sources feeding the electrolyzers. The research demonstrated that the scenario where hydrogen production uses energy from photovoltaics only becomes the best option for the environmental criterion weighting value at 61%. Taking the aging effect of photovoltaic installation (PV) panels and electrolyzers after 10 years of operation into account, the limit value of the environmental criterion rises to 63%. The carried out analyses may serve as the basis for the creation of systems supporting the development of clean and green hydrogen production technologies.
