<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water-electrolysis hydrogen producing apparatus utilizing wind power generation that can reduce electric power cost, and its operation method. <P>SOLUTION: The water-electrolysis hydrogen producing apparatus is provided with a wind power generation device 1, a measuring instrument 2 that measures its electric energy, a switch 3 that is connected to the upstream side of a line 9 connecting an AC/DC converter and an DC/AC converter of the wind power generation device 1, a water electrolytic cell 4 that is connected to the downstream of the switch and that water-electrolyzes DC electric power from the AC/DC converter as a power source for electrolysis, a hydrogen tank 5 that stores the hydrogen created in the water electrolytic cell, a fuel cell 6 that generates electric power using the hydrogen from a hydrogen tank, a first hydrogen supply control valve 8 that is installed on a line 7 connecting the hydrogen tank and the fuel cell 6, an electric power output line 10 that outputs electric power obtained by the fuel cell to the downstream side of the line 9, and a controller 11 that controls the first hydrogen supply control valve in such a way that hydrogen content equivalent to electric power in short of the output of electric power generated by the wind power generation is supplied to the fuel cell based on the measurement result by the measuring instrument. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
