Green hydrogen production has become an attractive solution to reduce the effects of climate change using renewable energy systems because it is a decarbonization vector. To produce green hydrogen efficiently from an isolated Direct Current (DC) microgrid, it is necessary to hybridize the system with different energy storage devices like Batteries (B) and Supercapacitors (SC) to ensure continuous operation of the Electrolyzer (Elz) when the Photovoltaic (PV) energy source is not available and form the grid conditions to operate. This digest presents a Grid-Forming Control Strategy applied to an isolated DC microgrid. Extensive Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) implementations are carried out under different operating conditions showing a reliable and continuous operation.
