This text discusses the techno-economic analysis of a solar-wind power plant designed for green hydrogen generation in Czechia. The system integrates photovoltaics, wind turbines, electrocoagulation (EC) treatment, and an electrolysis unit to produce sustainable hydrogen at an economically feasible levelized cost ($3.12/kg). Key design parameters include 298kW PV panels, 100kW wind turbines, and a 1000 kW electrolyzer.
- Research Team: Scientists from the Technical University of Ostrav, Egypt's Menoufia and Zagazig Universities, and Kuwait University.
- System Components: PV panels (298 kW), wind turbines (100 kW each), electrocoagulation plant, hydrogen tanks (800 kWh).
- Annual Outputs: Photovoltaic system: 30,425 kWh/year; Wind turbines: 69,566 kWh/year.
- Economic Analysis: Levelized cost of hydrogen ($3.12/kg), Net present cost (excluding compressor unit).
- Sustainability Aspects: EC treatment using surplus renewable energy to enhance system sustainability.
