Abstract
This article considers Algeria as a case study for the evaluation of the solar hydrogen production potential. The study relates to the design of a hydrogen generating station by water electrolysis whose energy resources are solar. The electricity supply is done by a solar tower power plant. The numerical simulation of the hydrogen production for the installation proposed is made while being based on the characteristic equations governing the electrolysis of water, hydraulic pumping system and the solar tower. The hydrogen production rate is given for various values of the solar radiation and several sites of Algeria. The results obtained by the established computer code, and of which the required goal is the determination of the most favorable conditions for a better production of hydrogen, are presented and discussed.
