Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to give an overview of the feasibility development of wind-hydrogen systems in Algeria. Wind energy potentialities of Algeria are presented through seasonal wind maps in order to select the windy sites. A simplified system is proposed for hydrogen production simulation. This system comprises a wind turbine, an alkaline electrolyser and an AC/DC converter. The computer simulation is conducted using Hydrogen energy system modelling tools (HYDROGEMS) integrated in the transient system simulation program (TRNSYS).
