Renewables exploitation via hydrogen production in gas turbine test facilities: the ZEHTC Project

In order to pursue the goals of de-carbonization and renewable sources exploitation, an efficient, cost-effective environmental friendly employment energy systems is mandatory. this context, ERA-Net funded Project ZEHTC (Zero Emission Hydrogen Turbine Center) has been developed, aimed at realization a pilot plant consisting in world first gas turbine test facility making use power produced during tests – along with renewables (solar particular) for hydrogen production batteries storage. The will be locally used run turbine, thus reducing its impact. aim paper present results steps project, definition optimized grid development calculation model optimal design. To respect, typology included into (in addition current set-up existing center) presented. addition, mathematical models specifically developed each component, as well operational logic entire grid, presented discussed set size systems.
