Optimization of coupled photovoltaic electrolysis

摘要: Abstract The modular structure of both solar generator and electrolyzer allows an optimal design direct coupled PV-electrolysis systems. These adapted systems prove to be attractive concept as their annual total efficiency may reach the power point tracking HYSOLAR simulation code has been developed for general analysis operation problems Within German-Saudian project photovoltaic-electrolysis test research plants size 350 resp. 10 KW will set up in Riyadh Stuttgart. A number system simulations have performed with respect these planned adaptation electrolyzers a fixed PV-generator. Suitable normalized parameters are introduced. They characterize hydrogen plant configurations enable behaviour predictions comparison different experimental results optimization approaches. curve photovoltaic electrolysis up. It covers large class given climate site specific cell PV-module characteristics.
