Wind-farm and hydrogen-storage co-location system optimization for dynamic frequency response in the UK

Abstract The continuous development of hydrogen-electrolyser and fuel-cell technologies not only reduces their investment operating costs but also improves technical performance to meet fast-acting requirements electrical grid balancing services such as frequency-response services. In order project the feasibility co-locating a hydrogen-storage system with wind farm for dynamic regulation provision in Great Britain, this paper develops modelling framework coordinate export frequency responses main manage interaction electrolyser, compressor, storage tank fuel cell within by respecting market mechanisms balance conversion power hydrogen flows. Then revenue service variety induced are translated into net profit co-location system, which is maximized optimizing capacities hydrogen-storage-system components, levels that guide restoration via operational baselines interchange between wind-farm well tendered low- high-frequency developed tested based on particular 432-MW offshore Britain combined techno-economics electrolysers cells projected 2030 2050 scenarios. optimized configuration operation compared different scenarios discussed alongside prospect applying systems provision.
