Optimal Operation of a Hydrogen Storage and Fuel Cell Coupled Integrated Energy System

Integrated energy systems have become an area of interest as with growing demand globally, means producing sustainable from flexible sources is key to meet future demands while keeping carbon emissions low. Hydrogen a potential solution for providing flexibility in the mix it does not emit harmful gases when used source. In this paper, integrated system including hydrogen vector and storage studied. The assess behaviour production under different renewable generation profiles. Two case studies are considered: high scenario low scenario. These provide understanding how levels penetration may affect operation electrolyser fuel cell against electricity import/export pricing regime. mathematical model study represented using hub approach, optimisation through linear programming conducted via MATLAB minimise total operational cost. work undertaken showcases unique interactions has terms minimising grid import exporting stored back export prices competitive.
