The small-sized energy supply system with hydrogen storage based on natural energy can be operated independently. However, estimating the system scale is not straightforward, as it requires a detailed assessment of the energy input from natural energy and the energy used. Here, we introduce a simple method of estimating the scale design guidelines for the energy systems with hydrogen storage based on local weather condition. Although detailed conditions are required for the actual energy system design, it is available to know the rough design of the system scale taking the local weather into consideration. From these analyses, it is found that local weather conditions have a large impact on the system scale.
