Abstract

The DC off-grid photovoltaic (PV) hydrogen production system (DCO-PVHPS) is a significant trend for achieving efficient and clean conversion of electricity and hydrogen. Suitable energy storage in a DCO-PVHPS can ensure the safe and continuous operation of electrolyzers. The current ES configurations mainly focus on suppressing fluctuations in renewable energy sources according to long-term operation characteristics. However, when a sudden power change, such as a DC fault, occurs, the impact of the transient response characteristics of hydrogen-electric energy storage systems on the power supply reliability should be considered. Therefore, the transient responses of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEMELs), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and Li-ion batteries under different operating conditions are analyzed. A novel coordinated hydrogen-electric energy storage configuration scheme, which accounts for the transient response characteristics and safe operation boundary of PEMELs, is proposed in this paper. Finally, the simulation model of DCO-PVHPS is built to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed configuration scheme. This scheme can not only ensure fault ride-through for the DCO-PVHPS but also improve system efficiency and service life. Besides, it reduces the dependence on Li-ion batteries, thus lowering system costs.
