<p>This study assesses the potential of photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems for hydrogen production in two regions with abundant renewable resources: Eastern Morocco and Andalucía, Spain.

At the commercial scale, PV systems produced up to 7,257 kg H2/year in Figuig and 6,340 kg H2/year in Cádiz.

摘要

This study assesses the potential of photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems for hydrogen production in two regions with abundant renewable resources: Eastern Morocco and Andalucía, Spain. Using one full year of meteorological data from eight cities in each region, electricity generation from stand-alone PV and wind systems was simulated in the System Advisor Model (SAM) for residential (20 kWe) and commercial (200 kWe) configurations.The results reveal clear regional and technological contrasts. Overall, PV systems provide higher and more stable hydrogen production across both regions, with Eastern Morocco showing stronger PV potential, whereas wind-based hydrogen production is more favorable in Andalucía. At the residential PV scale, annual electricity production reached 5,424.26 kWh in Granada, corresponding to 108.8 kg H2, while Figuig showed higher potential with 6,140.20 kWh and 123.1 kg H2. At the commercial scale, PV systems produced up to 7,257 kg H2/year in Figuig and 6,340 kg H2/year in Cádiz. By contrast, wind systems achieved their best performance in Andalucía, where 20 kWe systems generated up to 108 kg H2/year, compared with 52.34 kg H2/year in Morocco, and 200 kWe systems produced 2,137.65 kg H2/year in Cádiz versus 1,103.27 kg H2/year in Nador. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of matching renewable technologies with local climatic conditions and system scale. This comparative assessment provides useful evidence for strategic planning and site prioritization in renewable hydrogen deployment.
