Technical implications of large-scale agrivoltaics farms as an autonomous energy source for hydrogen-powered electric vehicle charging infrastructure
This study investigates a comprehensive assessment of green hydrogen (H2) production utilising electricity generated from a 1GW agrivoltaics system, with focus on charging hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in diverse global climates. To compare various climates, simulations are run for four locations: Phoenix (USA), Eching (Germany), Hooghly (India), and Konstanz (Germany), representing wide range of solar radiation profiles and agricultural contexts. Advanced crop and solar power simulations were performed using DSSAT 48 and PVsyst 7.4.0, respectively. Site-specific crops were chosen depending on the consumption and the cultivation practices. Cotton harvest is a dominant crop in Phoenix, Hooghly is one of the major rice-producing districts in the state of West Bengal, India. Germany is the largest market for chia, and safflower has great potential to produce florets in Germany. Bifacial LG Electronics module at optimal angle to optimise electricity generation. The highest LER obtained was for Konstanz with 2.01, where Chia was used as the test crop. Lithium-ion battery is used in the system before the electricity is supplied to the electrolyser for H2 production to mitigate the effect of abrupt changes in power or voltage brought on by the agrivoltaics system.
Results reveal significant geographical variability in solar energy capture and hydrogen production, with Phoenix (with the highest production of 33,487.39 kg/month) and Eching (accounting for the highest production of 30,514.04 kg/month) presenting the highest and lowest hydrogen outputs, respectively. The study evaluates the implications of these variations on supporting a fleet of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles ranging from public transport commercial vehicles (13,219 being the highest number in a month), minibuses (maximum number of vehicles that can refuelled being 30,912 in a month), fuel cell heavy vehicles (estimating maximum of 957 heavy trucks in a month) and passenger cars (6698 as the highest number of cars in a month), highlighting the compatibility of agrivoltaics with clean mobility solutions.
By addressing critical global challenges, this work demonstrates the synergy between agrivoltaics and hydrogen technologies, integration of battery storage ensures reliable system operation, while compatibility with multiple vehicles' charging strategies practically of off-grid, renewable-powered mobility. The findings offer a compelling blueprint for sustainable development, supporting progress towards multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study, therefore, establishes new benchmarks for scalable, climate-adaptive solutions that simultaneously advance clean electricity, hydrogen fuel production, and sustainable agriculture.
