Summary
Description
<p>Regenerative fuel cell systems often include a dedicated electrolysis module with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels packaged as a subsystem of the larger energy storage system.&nbsp; The voltage-current (V-I) performance curves associated with the system modules must be compatible&ndash; this often necessitates the use of complex electronic power control elements (DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, etc.).&nbsp; This proposal will investigate a power-following integration option for solar PV modules into DC base-power systems for dedicated electrolysis module operations without the need for DC power interface elements.</p>
