The interest in developing hydrogen production technology stems from the necessity to develop another sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source. This interest also stems from the growing energy demand for hydrogen as a staple . Water electrolysis may be a sustainable and clean hydrogen production process, which has reached industrial maturity.
In the current work, the cell concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system was wont to evaluate the technical and economic performance of hydrogen production in Algeria. Different technologies of solar concentrator and photovoltaic module are considered. The dependence of hydrogen production potential and hydrogen cost on these technologies was studied. Compared with ordinary PV electrolysis methods, CPV electrolysis technology provides higher productivity at a more competitive cost.
Seasonal evolution of hydrogen production rate. For a given location, the hydrogen production rate varies unevenly with seasons. For the inter regional hydrogen production rate, hydrogen production between different locations here are often noted.
This is very true in winter.
The change of hydrogen cost of solar concentration ratio under different cell efficiency values. It are often noted that the value of hydrogen decreases rapidly with the rise of decentralization ratio. However, this decline in cost levels leaves. At high concentration ratio, concentration and even battery efficiency won't have much impact on this cost.
The cost of concentrating photovoltaic part and therefore the cost of electrolysis part. the value of CPV is that the ratio of the relevant cost of CPV unit to the entire cost of hydrogen production. It represents the proportion of hydrogen costs related to concentrating photovoltaic devices. Similarly, the value of electrolysis is that the ratio of the relevant cost of electrolysis unit to the entire cost of hydrogen production, representing the proportion of the relevant hydrogen cost of electrolysis unit.
At low concentration, the value of hydrogen production is especially determined by the relevant cost of concentrating photovoltaic unit. However, it are often noted that this a part of the value decreases with the rise of efficiency and radiation . However, with the rise of solar power concentration, the value associated with CPV decreases rapidly. the value of hydrogen is especially determined by the relevant cost of electrolytic unit.
