Modeling and control strategy for hydrogen production systems coupled with PV and battery storage

Abstract

Environmental conditions can significantly affect the performance of photovoltaic (PV) hydrogen production systems, resulting in fluctuations in PV output and suboptimal hydrogen production. In order to solve these problems, a voltage stabilization control based approach has been implemented for a photovoltaic integrated hydrogen production system, which is based on an existing hydrogen production model coupled to PV storage. The aim of this approach is to enhance system stability, improve the quality of photovoltaic power generation, and optimize hydrogen production. The strategy includes maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for the PV system, as well as coordinated control of the electrochemical energy storage system to ensure stable bus voltage and efficient use of solar resources. The effectiveness of this control strategy was demonstrated by simulation.
