Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model of hydrogen production system of photovoltaic directly integrated with proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell stack is developed, its process and parameter are improved and an operation strategy is proposed. When the solar irradiance changes, its hydrogen production can be improved by adjusting the combination of photovoltaic module and the operation parameters of proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell stack （inlet water temperature and inlet water flow rate）. The thermodynamic analysis of the system shows that the energy efficiency of the system is up to 11.52% and decreases with the increase of inlet water temperature.The inlet water flow rate has little influence on the energy efficiency of the system. The exergy efficiency of the system reaches up to 9.15%, which increases with the increase of inlet water temperature and decreases with the increase of inlet water flow rate.

Key words
