Özet

Energy storage becomes a more critical issue for humanity to maintain a sustainable integration of renewable-based energy resources with the demand side. As an energy carrier, hydrogen can provide a large amount of energy storage with minimal loss over long periods. The current work focuses on designing and modeling a hybrid renewable energy-based system comprised of Photovoltaic (PV) cells, a battery bank, a PEM Electrolyzer for hydrogen generation, a compressor, and a pressurized hydrogen tank to meet the electricity demand of an off-grid house in Izmir. In the proposed system, solar energy was utilized to produce electricity through PV arrays. The produced energy was either used in the PEM electrolyzer for Hydrogen (H2) production or stored in the batteries to meet the required energy during low solar radiation or nighttime. An energy management strategy was developed for the proposed hybrid system using the MATLAB software for carrying out the above-mentioned purposes. For the system component modeling, a one-dimensional mathematical approach was applied to investigate the dynamic behavior of the integrated system. The hydrogen generated by the electrolyzer was pressurized with a compressor and stored in pressure tanks at a pressure of 350 bar.
