Abstract: This research deals with the modelling and the control of a hydrogen system comprising a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and an Electrolyzer (EL) to optimize the power use of a small photovoltaic source. The Photovoltaic panel (PV) provides energy to the load, the excess energy produced, with respect to the load requirements will be sent to the electrolyzer for hydrogen production and storage. Dynamic modelling of various components of this small system is presented. The performances of this source are demonstrated by digital simulation.
