Based on a new numerical sizing code named ORIENTE (Optimization of Renewable Intermittent Energies with hydrogeN for auTonomous Electrification) under Matlab software, the aim of this work is the optimization of PV- H2 system with the perspective to feed electricity for a few homes. This system is composed of the different following components: the renewable energy production system (PV plant), the energy storage system (a PEM electrolyzer with its auxiliaries, storage tanks for H2, O2 and H2O, and battery pack), a PEM fuel-cell and its associated converters. ORIENTE is based on a sequential running time. It computes the energy flows and the energy balance during the specific simulation time, determines the running time and the nominal power for each component, the evolution of gas volume storage)O,(H22 and the sizing curve )V,(PH2PVleading to system autonomy for the predefined load. This paper presents an example of a hybrid PV-H2 system sizing using ORIENTE in the case of an electricity supply of a few homes.
