Dynamic Parameter Simulations for a Novel Small-Scale Power-to-Ammonia Concept

Ammonia is a promising carbon-free energy vector, hydrogen carrier, and efficient means for long-time storage. Power-to-ammonia-to-power concepts, powered exclusively by electricity from renewable sources, will leave the carbon economy behind enter truly era. However, fluctuating nature of renewables requires good dynamic behavior such concepts. Employing software Aspen Plus Dynamics®, this paper investigates novel containerized power-to-ammonia solution to be tested at University Genova in 2023. Implementing kinetic reaction model, impacts several deviations optimal values cycle parameters are investigated. The simulations provide practical guidance on how best safely operate cycle. A total ten scenarios were simulated, which six acceptable, two desirable, should avoided. all can controlled control infrastructure.
