The global community is actively seeking ways to harness renewable energy sources to combat global warming and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Solar and wind energy have gained popularity worldwide. However, the availability of solar irradiance and wind speed is unpredictable and beyond human control. Therefore, integrating an energy storage system is essential to maximize the utilization of these energy sources by converting them into electricity. Batteries are a prominent choice for medium power applications, but they require regular maintenance and are prone to self-discharge, leading to a gradual decline in storage capacity over time. For high power applications, hydrogen storage emerges as a cost-effective alternative to batteries. Stored hydrogen can be utilized for various purposes, such as transportation and electricity generation. An electrolyzer can efficiently split water into oxygen and hydrogen using electricity. Nonetheless, the slow heat transfer dynamics impede rapid hydrogen production, necessitating a new control technique to enhance production quality during fluctuations in solar irradiance and wind speed. Boost, buck, and DC to DC bidirectional converters are utilized to maintain a constant voltage at the DC-link under diverse operating conditions. A novel control algorithm has been devised to ensure power quality at the 3-phase AC load bus and effectively manage energy in the hybrid standalone system. The outcomes of this research, conducted using MATLAB/Simulink, are presented to assess performance under various scenarios.
