            Abstract : 
Wind power generation as well as hydrogen energy have attracted much attention as a solution for solving the energy problem in the future. Though many strategies for the operation of a grid-connected wind farm have been proposed, 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 stand-alone hydrogen production system composed of wind generators and hydrogen electrolyzer.
