A wind turbine-driven hydrogen production system controlling a power
converter system such that the wind turbine stays in its operable range
for a longer time and thus the hydrogen production system produces
hydrogen for a longer time. The wind turbine-driven hydrogen production
system varies an amount of electrical current supplied to an electrolytic
hydrogen production system according to the rotational speed of the wind
turbine to reduce variations in the rotational speed. Furthermore, the
pitch angle of the wind turbine varies according to the speed. Thus,
variations in the speed of the wind turbine can be reduced. A
permanent-magnet generator is used as the electricity generator of the
wind turbine to obtain a power supply at start-up. Alternatively, a power
storage system used as assistive equipment at start-up is supplementarily
added or only a power supply for the controllers is supplied from a
system.
