Techno-economic assessment of green hydrogen production using different configurations of wind turbines and PV panels

Abstract

In this work, a hybrid system is comprised of wind turbines (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate green Hydrogen via water electrolysis. Consideration is given to the influence of five electrical power generation scenarios on system performance and Hydrogen production cost. This study adopts the solar radiation, wind speed, and ambient temperature for Mersa-Matruh in Egypt. The system performance is studied using MATLAB-Simulink over one year. The winter months have high wind speed and low sun radiation compared to other months, whereas additional months have high solar radiation and lower wind speed than the winter months. The findings show that the amount of Hydrogen produced for all scenarios varies from 12,340 m3 to 13,748 m3 per year. The system efficiency and LCOH are 7.974% and 3.67$/kg, 9.56%, and 3.97$/kg, 10.7% and 4.12 $/kg, 12.08%, and 4.3$/kg, and 16.23% and 4.69$/kg for scenarios1 to 5, respectively. Finally, the introduced system can reduce CO2 emissions by 345 tons over the lifetime and gain about 13,806$.

Overview: Using Hybrid Energy System for Electricity Production Based on the Optimization Methods

“…A comparative study has been done concerning system cost and configuration systems efficacy. Similar directions have been presented [5][6][7][8][9][10] to clarify different hybrid energy system analyses. The main purposes of these works have been established on the sizing, system cost, modeling, configuration, planning, strategy management, control, and optimization methods for different energy system producers.…”

“…In this section, we conduct a quantitative analysis of the system's efficiency using Equations ( 22) to (24) [40,42]. The main focus is on calculating the efficiencies of key components, including offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters (OWC), and Electrolyzers.…”

Impact of PCM type on photocell performance using heat pipe-PCM cooling system: A numerical study

“…Among the many renewable energy options that have lately emerged as a possible replacement for fossil fuels, solar power stands out as one of the cleanest, most reliable, and least harmful to the environment. Solar panels have been used in various contexts, from producing hydrogen [1] to charging batteries in communication systems to providing electricity for the vast majority of launched satellites since the dawn of these space disciplines [2]. While photocell systems have been commercialized and are widely used, most solar cells convert electricity at roughly 15% -20% efficiency under optimal working conditions [3].…”
