In the first one topology, solar electricity powers the electrolysis of water with a simple configuration that connects PV solar panels directly to the electrolyzer Fig. 7 a , , , .
In-depth analysis of topologies for PV to supply electrolysis and dynamics of water electrolyzers. The integration of water electrolyzers and photovoltaic (PV) solar technology is a potential development in renewable energy systems, offering new avenues for sustainable energy generation and storage.
It is particularly advantageous if an electrolyser may be simply and efficiently coupled to a source of renewable electrical energy. This paper examines direct coupling of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser to a matched solar photovoltaic (PV) source for hydrogen generation and storage.
Clarke and colleagues (Clarke et al. 2009) conducted research on the direct connection of electrochemical devices, such as membrane electrolyzers, with matching solar photovoltaic sources for the synthesis and storage of hydrogen.
Nevertheless, PV power generation is characterized by its inherent variability and susceptibility to energy losses caused by natural environmental factors . To tackle these challenges, the integration of PV system with water electrolysis for hydrogen generation provides an enticing solution.
Methods for integrating PV systems and water electrolysis for hydrogen generation can be categorized into two main types: direct and indirect . In the direct coupling approach, auxiliary equipment like maximum power point tracking (MPPT) devices and DC/DC converters is not needed .
