Hydrogen Production Using PVs with MPPT Optimization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines hydrogen production using Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers (PEMELs) and photovoltaic (PV) panels using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This method has great potential to maximize the production of pure hydrogen, making it possible to reduce and potentially eliminate the difficulties associated with sudden drops and interruptions in output power. The use of MPPT algorithms in conjunction with Direct Current to Direct Current (DC/DC) converters helps improve the energy efficiency of systems. This study aims to enhance green hydrogen production by optimizing PV-PEMEL performance using commercial power electronics, while improving energy storage and reducing costs for sustainable hydrogen generation.
