Abstract

Hydrogen production using wind power generation system is very effective for solving the energy supply problem in the future. Many strategies have been proposed for the operation of a grid-connected wind farm. But operation method of stand-alone wind farm has not been studied sufficiently so far. There are many places with good wind condition but without connectable grid, where stand-alone wind farm can be very attractive. This paper proposes a control method for the operation of a stand-alone wind farm with a hydrogen generator.
