Abstract

This research focuses on developing a hybrid energy system using photovoltaic cells and hydrogen fuel cells. The system provides electricity during the day and produces electricity at night without batteries. The study was conducted at a testing station for tractors and agricultural machinery, Alexandria Governorate latitude 31°11' 34.6"N, longitude 29°54' 17.5"E, and 15 meters above sea level. The tilt angle was adjusted 46 ˚.  The hybrid system consists of three main units: PV solar panel, electrolyzer, and fuel cell units. The project intends to create a hybrid energy system capable of meeting specified system requirements both during the day and at night. A computer program will explain the system and calculate the energy of the solar panels, fuel cell stacks, and the flow rate of hydrogen from the electrolyzer. It will also compute the number of units required in all phases of the hybrid system. The study found great harmony between experiment results and mathematical models at each phase of a hybrid energy system using solar panels and fuel cells, including power generation, hydrogen production, and energy production.
