| Abstract |
Wind Power is currently the fastest
growing energy source in the world. Norway is one of the best-situated European countries for using wind
power, and several large-scale wind farms are given concession. If wind power is combined with other energy sources and/or energy storage systems, wind power may
also be a realistic energy source in isolated energy systems. This paper has focused on a small windhydrogen system comprising of a wind turbine, a battery
storage, an electrolyser, a compressor, a hydrogen
storage tank and a filling station for hydrogen vehicles. Wind conditions are changing with time of day, season and year. At the same time, the electrolyser may require
stable and strict operational conditions, which might impose limitations on the dynamic utilisation of the electrolyser. This paper has presented a new
methodology for taking the stochastic nature of the wind
into account when dimensioning the system. The method was implemented in MatLab and was used on a small case study, with focus on component sizing and the cost of delivered hydrogen. |
