“…To calculate solar hydrogen production capacity, the generated solar energy was frst calculated using HOMER (equation ( 6)). Ten, the analytical equation (equation ( 9)) was used to estimate annual hydrogen production per kW of solar cell used for electricity production [50]. Given the above efciency, the state of the Iranian market, and its longer average lifespan [51], the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysis technology was implemented:…”

As an energy source, solar cells can be central to peak load control in different power companies. Hydrogen production can be cost-effective if the generated electricity is unusable. Shades reduce solar cell current and fundamentally alter panel function, making it necessary to restore panels to optimum power generation. Owing to the issues outlined in this paper, the energy-economic-environmental effect of a shade detection algorithm was examined for different shade scenarios, and domestic-scale solar hydrogen production was evaluated. As the effect of the partial shade detection algorithm on the amount of solar hydrogen production has not been investigated quantitatively so far, this issue was discussed in this study. The algorithm and laboratory equipment developed by the authors were used to detect the partial shadow. Thanks to the respected reviewer, the following sentence was added to the abstract. The analyses in HOMER V2.81 software used 20-year average data for a residential building in the city of Tehran obtained from the NASA website. The results recommended that the designed algorithm increases hydrogen production in different scenarios between 5.8% and 32.9%. The results also revealed that the designed algorithm significantly lessen the pollutants between 100 kg/year and 240 kg/year.

“…Their study's findings indicated that low-demand sites were appropriate for this design, and as the demand increased, more than one point in the system was required. Also, An economic analysis was conducted by Touili et al (2019) to assess solar hydrogen generation in Morocco between Morocco and Southern Europe via water electrolysis. The authors studied the economy from 2014 to 2016 to model and create hydrogen from a 100 MWp PV power plant system was linked to a PEM electrolyzer.…”

Based on its 2030 vision Saudi Arabia seeks future renewable clean energy as an essential input into most industrial sector production processes. As a model, Neom city is targeted 100 % dependent on renewable energy, limiting climate change caused by CO2 emissions. On the other hand, hydrogen as a clean energy source has gained much attention in recent years. Moreover, hydrogen storage is considered a promising energy carrier that can be merged in the renewable energy system to store a large amount of energy. The research focuses on adding hydrogen storage in a photovoltaic (PV) plant in Neom city represents the vision "2030" to limit CO2 emission. Hydrogen storage could provide a fully renewable and clean power source for fixed and mobile applications. Must scaled-up hydrogen production and the legislative framework needed to define commercial deployment models explicitly. More technology advancements are expected to minimize the associated costs of extraction, storage, and transportation and more investment in the infrastructure supporting Neom city. This work presents a techno-economic study of adding hydrogen storage to a photovoltaic (PV) plant in Neom city. Utilizing the System Advisor Model (SAM) software to calculate the payback period (PP) and the intern rate of return (IRR), and other economic parameters of the project with and without adding the hydrogen storage. The net present value of PV plant with hydrogen storage is considered $6,887,662, which means more time value of money from the supplied value. The techno-economic assessment of this study was limited to a PV plant with a total capacity of 30 MW on-grid.

“…To calculate the potential of solar hydrogen production in different stations located in eight climates of Iran (cold, very cold, moderate and rainy, semimoderate and rainy, semiarid, hot and dry, very hot and dry, and very hot and humid), the amount of generated solar power (P PV ) was first calculated by the HOMER software (equation ( 1)). Then, using an analytical analysis according to equation ( 8), the amount of hydrogen produced per year per kilowatt of solar cells used to generate electricity was estimated [58]. Also, due to the high efficiency, conditions in the Iranian market, and the longer average lifetime [59], the type of technology desired for water electrolysis in the present work is PEM.…”

Hydrogen is a clean and environmentally friendly energy vector that can play an important role in meeting the world’s future energy needs. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the potential for hydrogen production from solar energy could greatly facilitate the transition to a hydrogen economy. Because by knowing the exact amount of potential for solar hydrogen production, the cost-effectiveness of its production can be compared with other methods of hydrogen production. Considering the above, it can be seen that so far no comprehensive study has been done on finding the exact potential of solar hydrogen production in different stations of Iran and finding the most suitable station. Therefore, in the present work, for the first time, using the HOMER and ArcGIS softwares, the technical-economic study of solar hydrogen production at home-scale was done. The results showed that Jask station with a levelized cost of energy equal to $ 0.172 and annual production of 83.8 kg of hydrogen is the best station and Darab station with a levelized cost of energy equal to $ 0.286 and annual production of 50.4 kg of hydrogen is the worst station. According to the results, other suitable stations were Bushehr and Deyr, and other unsuitable stations were Anzali and Khalkhal. Also, in 102 under study stations, 380 MW of solar electricity equivalent to 70.2 tons of hydrogen was produced annually. Based on the geographic information system map, it is clear that the southern half of Iran, especially the coasts of the Persian Gulf and the sea of Oman, is suitable for hydrogen production, and the northern, northeastern, northwestern, and one region in southern of Iran are unsuitable for hydrogen production. The authors of this article hope that the results of the present work will help the energy policymakers to create strategic frameworks and a roadmap for the production of solar hydrogen in Iran.
