Analysis of hydrogen production capacity of off-grid photovoltaic system based on PVsyst software simulation

Abstract

As a typical green energy, hydrogen energy has many advantages. The traditional hydrogen production methods are more polluting. However, the use of electricity generated by photovoltaic systems to produce hydrogen can not only make full use of local solar energy resources, but also achieve environmentally friendly hydrogen production. In this work, we use PVsyst software to model and simulate a 30kW off grid photovoltaic power plant in a region of Shanghai, and calculate its power generation. Combined with the energy consumption of hydrogen production equipment, we evaluated the hydrogen production capacity and pollutant emission reductions, and we also analyzed the performance ratio and power loss of photovoltaic system, which verifies the environmental protection of photovoltaic hydrogen production, and provides a reference for photovoltaic hydrogen production researchers.
