Modeling and Simulation of Direct Coupling of an Electrolyzer to PV System for Hydrogen Production

This paper presents a study of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) system which is coupled directly to a PV array with a power of 10KW in order to produce hydrogen. For that, we propose a method for determining the different parameters that will allow us to simulate the electrical behavior of the PEM electrolyzer system. We also establish the equations required to predict the quantities of hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer system. Our proposed contribution is modeled and simulated by using Matlab/Simulink environment.
