Integration of PV, battery, and a hydrogen electrolyzer with different grid-forming and grid-following control strategies

This master’s thesis presents the modeling and simulation of a microgrid system integrating a photovoltaic array, a battery energy storage system, and a hydrogen electrolyzer. Each subsystem is connected via power electronic converters operating under either grid-forming or gridfollowing control str...
