Abstract

Hydrogen generation systems coupled with renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic panels can have a role as sustainable energy generation systems for independent applications that can also have a significant part in tackling energy poverty. This chapter examines a system that consists of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser powered by photovoltaic panels with the purpose to use the produced hydrogen as cooking fuel for domestic applications. It describes a small-scale experimental study of a PEM electrolyser powered by operational data from a photovoltaic panel system installed in Brunel University, UK, and the University of Technology, Kingston, Jamaica. The results show that maximum efficiency of the electrolyser was 62.8 % for a day with constantly high irradiance and 47 % for a day with volatile irradiance.
