英文摘要	This study focuses on the challenges of desertification and non -arable lands in off -grid remote areas with hot and arid climates. Despite the availability of groundwater, these areas require access to electricity at night to operate the water pumps to spray the crops due to high evaporation rates during the daylight. The absence of grid electricity necessitates the utilize of diesel generators to power irrigation systems, representing a significant contributor to climate change and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. Addressing nocturnal electrification using sustainable solutions is crucial for reclaiming such areas and eliminating the environmental impacts of diesel generators. The study introduces a novel closed -loop Discrete Regenerative Fuel Cell (DRFC) solar -hydrogen storage irrigation system designed explicitly for nocturnal utilization in water -scarce regions to rectify this concern. The study then assesses its performance compared to a conventional diesel generator system when supplying a one kW water pump for a sample land area of 10 dunams. Using the HOMER Pro simulation tool, the simulation results strongly support the assertion that the PV -hydrogen irrigation system intended in this study exhibits superior techno-economic performance compared to the conventional diesel -irrigation system. A comprehensive analysis of the net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) between the two systems reveals that the proposed system achieves values of $0.529 and $5365, respectively. In contrast, the diesel system records values of $0.572 and $5796, respectively. These findings indicate a notable 9 % reduction in overall costs associated with implementing the proposed system. Additionally, the fuel cell showed stable performance across varying months which implies a consistent and reliable contribution to the overall electrical power generation within the hybrid system, regardless of seasonal fluctuations in solar power and temperatures. Furthermore, in terms of environmental impact, our findings highlight a significant advantage of the proposed system over the diesel generator. Specifically, the proposed system produces zero carbon emissions, while emissions from the diesel generator were notably higher at 993 kg/year. It is essential to emphasize that the integration of fuel cells into the proposed system holds the potential to offer a clean source of drinking water for farmers and workers in the area. The implications of these findings can help the research community develop and facilitate the reclamation process of agricultural lands worldwide that face similar challenges to the study region. This could lead to subsequent global environmental and economic benefits, such as reducing the spread of desertification, enhancing productivity, improving food security, promoting environmental sustainability, and creating economic opportunities.
