Wind Farm Control for Improved Battery Lifetime in Green Hydrogen Systems without a Grid Connection

Green hydrogen is likely to play an important role in meeting the net-zero targets of countries around globe. One potential option for green production run electrolysers directly from offshore wind turbines, with no grid connection and hence expensive cabling shore. In this work, innovative proof concept a farm control methodology designed reduce variability active power output presented. Smoothing supplied by battery reduces size number charge cycles helps increase lifetime. This work quantifies impact method on lifetime farms 1, 4, 9 16 turbines using suitable farm, electrolyser models. The presented shows that smoothing could critical reducing levelised cost produced damaging load batteries system. Hence, paves way design testing full implementation controller.
