Abstract

In this paper, a hydrogen generator and a wind farm were taken as the research objects. The H2 generator consisted characteristics of laboratory-tested electrolyzers were determined as a function of the hydrogen mass flow. Determining the auxiliary power index of the device allowed the efficiency of the hydrogen generator to be determined as a function of hydrogen mass flow as well as the hydrogen generator relative power. The dynamic characteristics of a generator were also presented. The possibility of a given wind farm cooperating with hydrogen generators that are characterized by different powers and various efficiencies was simulated. Algorithm enables determination of hydrogen generators efficiency for devices with various performance in nominal operation point is shown. It has been shown that proper selection of the power of the hydrogen generator in relation to the power of the wind farm can ensure a high efficiency for the device.
