A Review on Electrolyser and Hydrogen production from wind Energy

In this paper, a brief review on technologies of electrolyser fed by renewable energy sources and specially by wind turbine to produce the hydrogen is presented. Indeed, one of the most developed technologies of renewable energy is wind energy to be integrated into power grids. However, wind power generation is highly dependent on weather conditions and so the intermittent production of electricity by wind turbines should be managed. Energy storage system may be a good solution in order to deal with their stochastic operation. Based on a brief review, this study reveals the potential role of hydrogen as a multifunctional storage application for wind energy among the different solutions. Clean hydrogen can be produced by a simple process of converting electricity into gas by water electrolyser, especially in regions which have potential in renewable energies. The capability of electrolysis could potentially answer the variable electrical load demand of the station by using of on-site hydrogen tanks because hydrogen can be stored and used when it is needed.
