Solar energy is a natural resource and can be harnessed to provide clean electricity to hydrogen production system. However, control problems still remain due to the large variety of PV output power with different solar radiation levels. To better investigate about this problem, a model that the PV power plants are integrated with production and storage system such as hydrogen generator, electrolyzer, PV system and hydrogen tank is needed. The focus of the present paper is to develop an integrated simulation model that can be effective and user friendly to predict the dynamic behaviors of a solar powered hydrogen system. The solar irradiance and temperature are the independent variables that act as the input variables to the model. The analyzed results could be used for analyzing the system performance, and also for sizing and designing the system. The integrated model is created by using Matlab Simulink simulation platform which allows the users to define the system specification. The particular information of the system such as power generated by the solar system, volumetric production & etc. can be clearly shown and determined in the simulation platform.
