Maximizing hydrogen production through photovoltaic generator by using improved incremental conductance algorithm with proportional integral PI controller

Sara Abssane, Outzourhit Abdelkader, Fatima-zahra Amatoul.


Abstract
Effectively storing energy for prolonged periods poses a primary challenge for renewable and innovative energy sources. This research focuses on two key objectives: first, converting photovoltaic (PV) voltage to the necessary level for electrolysis through a buck converter, and second, utilizing a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method to optimize the solar generator's efficiency. The simulation of the solar-driven buck converter for the electrolysis load was carried out using MATLAB/Simulink, integrating an Incremental Conductance (INC) MPPT algorithm with a PI controller for system optimization. The simulation results reveal the stabilization of both the generated power from the PV system and the load voltage. Significantly, the proposed system achieves an efficiency surpassing 90% under high irradiance levels.

Key words: Hydrogen production, DC-DC step-down converter, photovoltaic generator, PEM electrolyzer, Incremental conductance, PI controller, MATLAB/Simulink.
