13. Optimal Dispatch of Green Hydrogen Production
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : This project proposes a hybrid system for hydrogen production, which includes a connection to the grid, a source of renewable energies, namely photovoltaic (PV), a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer modelled from commercial technologies available. A dispatch optimization algorithm will evaluate the price of the energy inputs and the power available from the solar PV system and will decide the operation on an hourly basis to maximize net profit in a year timeframe.
