Theoretical and experimental research on wind power hydrogen storage energy system

The analysis of the operating parameters and available wind resources showed that the energy, generated by the system in some cases, may exceed the consumption abilities of the local energy grid. In such cases usually the system is limiting generated power of wind turbines, leading to underutilization of wind potential and to decrease in the efficiency of the wind power plants used. To improve the use of the wind resource, the wind power plant can be equipped with an extra hydrogen energy storage device, which allows the excess generated power to be used for the electrolysis of water and the production of hydrogen, which in turn can be used to generate electrical energy during periods of peak loads in the electrical grid. To study the processes occurring in the energy system, we developed the Matlab/Simulink mathematical simulation model based on the properties and characteristics of the wind power plant, equipment for the production of hydrogen and other components of the system. Based on the volume of energy production/consumption, the elements are combined into the integral system for modeling the processes of production and use of hydrogen with the wind power plant. Using a simulation model and various data on the wind resource and operating loads in the electrical grid, the parameters of the hydrogen production process and the wind energy utilization factor (wind energy efficiency) were determined for the overall system. The results showed that the implementation of hydrogen energy storage device may significantly increase the efficiency of wind resource usage.
