Zusammenfassung:In this study, a hybrid system consisted of 10kW wind and 1kWp PV array is built to meet the load demand of a raise chucker partridge raising facility by renewable energy sources. The facility has an average energy consumption of about 20.33kWh/day, with a peak demand of 2.4kW. The solar radiation data and wind data of the region are analyzed for sizing of the renewable energy system. The performance of each alternative system is examined in terms of energy efficiency, and H2 production capacity of the hybrid system from due to excessive electrical energy is studied. A Matlab-Simulink Software is used for analyzing the system performance. The average range of state of charge varies between 56.6% and 88.3% monthly from April to July. The amount of hydrogen production by excess electricity is 14.4kg in the month of July, due to the high wind speed and solar radiation. Energy efficiency of the electrolyser is found to be varying between 64% and 70% percent. Energy efficiency of each hybrid system is calculated. The overall energy efficiency of wind-electrolyser system varies between 5% and 14% while the energy efficiency of PV-electrolyser system changes within a narrower range, as between 7.9% to and 8.5%, respectively. ► An experimental investigation of 10kW wind+1kWp PV hybrid system. ► Comprehensive study of sustainable hydrogen production. ► Efficiency assessment of the system.
