PERFORMANCE OF A GRID CONNECTED SOLAR HYDROGEN PV SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA
2007
In this project, an experimental grid connected solar hydrogen energy system (GCSHES) has been setup and tested. The important element of GCSHES is that it has the capability of overcoming the problems that occur on the grid connected power system (GCPS) when there is no electricity. The system will converts the electric energy-generated from a PV module into hydrogen. The polymer electrode fuel cell generates electricity using the hydrogen stored in the storage tank. The GCSHES consists of a subsystems photovoltaic array, inverter, electrolyser, hydrogen tank and fuel cell. It has been found that the monthly efficiency and performance of PV array is 12.7% and 26%, and for inverter is 95.1% and 98%, respectively. The efficiency of electrolyzer subsystem and fuel cell is 51% and 25%, respectively. The results have shown that GCSHES gave a very good performance and can effectively be used in Malaysian climate conditions for renewable energy generations.
