contents This paper proposes a power system architecture and control for efficient and low-cost green hydrogen production. The proposed system integrates photovoltaic (PV) sources directly with an electrolyser stack, thereby eliminating the need for traditional power converters. With the removal of traditional power converters, maximum power point tracking is achieved through dynamic switching of electrolyser cells in the stack, enabling load variation to maintain optimal voltage for maximum power output. The demonstration methodology involves comprehensive MATLAB Simulink analysis of the integrated system performance through controlled PV-electrolyser interactions.
