Utilization of stored hydrogen for power production to overcome intermittency from wind power

2017

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2017 The energy demand is increasing and due to the enormous amount of pollution that comes from fossil energy it is time to think alternatives. This thesis is about using hydrogen and energy storage to produce power. The system is designed based on an expanding of wind farm at Smøla of 50,13MW, but without doing anything with the grid, which is close to its maximum capacity. The power produced from the year 2015 is used to measure the different component size which is needed. The simulation of the system is used by Simulink with control to handle underproduction and overproduction from the wind farm. The optimal size calculated …
