Energy, economic and environmental assessment of green hydrogen production from wind energy at the university

Abstract

This work proposes an energy, economic and environmental assessment of green hydrogen production from wind energy at the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques (FST) of Tangier. Through the analysis of wind conditions, the selection of a Bergey Excel 10 wind turbine (10 kW), an AEM EL 4.1 electrolyzer and a BMW i3 battery storage system, the project demonstrates the feasibility of an autonomous clean hydrogen production system. The results indicate an annual electricity production of 13,351.2 kWh, generating 249.89 kg/year of hydrogen, with a CO 2 emission reduction of 9,157.58 kg/year and an estimated return on investment of 13 years.
