Outline of Final Research Achievements

A system with wind generator and electrolyzer was analyzed for strand-alone system and isolated island. In the former, controller for DC-DC converter for parallel DC circuit was derived for delivering output from parallel wind generators to electrolyzer, and then, it was confirmed in the experimental study that each wind generator can be operated in MPPT mode and the output can be supplied to electrolyzer. In the latter, small scale model system with diesel generator and load was designed, in which, wind generator output is supplied to electrolyzer, the generated hydrogen is supplied to fuel cell generating power and heat, and then they are supplied to the load. It was confirmed that frequency variation of the small system can be decreased and its CO2 emission can also be decreased by introducing the proposed system into the small power system.
