Abstract

Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems allows for simultaneous electricity and heat generation. The energy output characteristics of PV/T systems are well-suited to complement the proton exchange membrane electrolytic water hydrogen production technology (PEMWE). In this paper, the performance of photovoltaic/thermal powered proton exchange membrane water electrolysis cogeneration system (PV/T-PEMWE) under different connection modes is compared. By establishing the mathematical model of PV/T-PEMWE system under indirect connection mode, direct connection mode and the optimized connection mode based on maximum power tracking, the dynamic performance is compared and analyzed. In addition, the influence of number of PV/T modules on the energy output of the system is also discussed. And the performance of PV-PEMWE and PV/T-PEMWE with the same area and optimized connection mode is compared under identical meteorological conditions. The results indicate that the hydrogen production efficiency of the systems with different connection modes, ranked from high to low, is as follows: indirect connection, optimized connection, direct connection. The operating voltage range of PV/T-PEMWE system is close to that of PV-PEMWE system, while the operating current in PV-PEMWE system is noticeably higher than that in PV/T-PEMWE system. The hydrogen production efficiency of PV-PEMWE system and PV/T-PEMWE reaches peak value at 12:00 and 14:00 respectively.
