Experimental study of hydrogen production system with stand-alone wind power generators

Abstract

Hydrogen production with wind power generators is a very effective means to solve the problem of future energy supply. There is a method for producing hydrogen by using stand-alone wind power generators. However, there has been few report so far about experimental study of hydrogen production with stand-alone wind power generators. Therefore, this paper presents results of experimental analysis of hydrogen production by using stand-alone wind power generations. The experimental system is composed of Permanent Magnet Generators (PMG) as a wind generator. It is shown that each generator output can be controlled by DC chopper circuits to follow each MPPT operation independently.
