Techno-economical optimization of the production of hydrogen from PV-Wind systems connected to the electrical grid

This paper shows a complete techno-economical analysis on facilities that make use of wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) generators for the production of hydrogen by means of electrolysis. Besides, the surplus of electrical energy produced can be sold and injected to the electrical grid.
