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.

“…m H 2 is the hydrogen flow rate, kg/s, P HG is the power supplied to the hydrogen generator (kW) and HHV H 2 is the hydrogen higher heating value (141.8 × 10 3 kJ/kg). The efficiency of the hydrogen generator depends on its rated power (size) and the type of electrolyzers used within the device [24]. The efficiency curve used in the calculations is adopted from the paper [27].…”

“…In the literature, the topic of hydrogen as an energy carrier in P2G and P2G2P installations is often discussed. In the paper [24], the authors present a possible case for the direct cooperation of a hydrogen generator, equipped with AEM electrolyzers, with a wind farm. This analysis makes use of measurements applied to a laboratory stand, employs a variety of ratios for the rated power of the wind farm compared to the hydrogen generator, and examines different operating modes of the analyzed system during a day.…”

This article presents a power to SNG (synthetic natural gas) system that converts hydrogen into SNG via a methanation process. In our analysis, detailed models for all the elements of the system are built. We assume a direct connection between a wind farm and a hydrogen generator. For the purposes of our calculations, we also assume that the hydrogen generator is powered by the renewable source over a nine-hour period per day (between 21:00 and 06:00), and this corresponds to the off-peak period in energy demand. In addition, a hydrogen tank was introduced to maximize the operating time of the methanation reactor. The cooperation between the main components of the system were simulated using Matlab software. The primary aim of this paper is to assess the influence of various parameters on the operation of the proposed system, and to optimize its yearly operation via a consideration of the most important constraints. The analyses also examine different nominal power values of renewables from 8 to 12 MW and hydrogen generators from 3 to 6 MW. Implementing the proposed configuration, taking into account the direct connection of the hydrogen generator and the methanation reactor, showed that it had a positive effect on the dynamics and the operating times of the individual subsystems within the tested configuration.

“…The European Union (EU) has recently outlined some strategies to promote hydrogen production from Renewable Energy Sources (RES), and guidelines for the development of hydrogen systems are also available in Italy [2,3]. In addition to the clear advantages in terms of local emissions when hydrogen is used as fuel (e.g., in fuel cell vehicles), hydrogen is also one of the possible solutions to store energy produced from RES, e.g., solar and wind energy [4,5]. Compared to other electric storage systems such as lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, hydrogen could be used for large seasonal energy storage.…”

Green hydrogen is addressed as a promising solution to decarbonize industrial and mobility sectors. In this context, ports could play a key role not only as hydrogen users but also as suppliers for industrial plants with which they have strong commercial ties. The implementation of hydrogen technologies in ports has started to be addressed as a strategy for renewable energy transition but still requires a detailed evaluation of the involved costs, which cannot be separated from the correct design and operation of the plant. Hence, this study proposes the design and operation optimization of a hydrogen production and storage system in a typical Italian port. Multi-objective optimization is performed to determine the optimal levelized cost of hydrogen in environmental and techno-economic terms. A Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer powered by a grid-integrated photovoltaic (PV) plant, a compression station and two-pressure level storage systems are chosen to provide hydrogen to a hydrogen refueling station for a 20-car fleet and satisfy the demand of the hydrogen batch annealing in a steel plant. The results report that a 341 kWP PV plant, 89 kW electrolyzer and 17 kg hydrogen storage could provide hydrogen at 7.80 €/kgH2, potentially avoiding about 153 tCO2,eq/year (120 tCO2,eq/year only for the steel plant).
