Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic simulation model using LabVIEW software to study the behavior of renewable energy systems with hydrogen storage (RESHS). The complete system model is developed by integrating individual sub-units of the photovoltaic arrays, wind turbine, batteries, electrolyzer, fuel cell and power conditioning units. The Labview sub-models are compared with Matlab/Simulink models developed in the previous work Such a global model is useful for optimal dimensioning and effective control design of the RESHSs. The state of charge control method was chosen to validate the developed simulation models. The results confirmed previous modelling and experimental measurements on the test bench.
