The concept of heat and electricity supply in the hydrogen microdistrict

The ever-increasing demand for energy in remote areas and hard-to-reach territories requires sustainable and reliable solutions for electricity and heat supply. At the moment, there is a partial transition to decentralized energy production, which makes it possible to create local intelligent energy systems. These systems are located in close proximity to the consumption nodes, which increases the reliability of the power supply. The hybrid system presented in the study includes a gas turbine, wind turbines, solar panels, a fuel cell, and an electrolyzer. The system efficiently converts excess wind and solar energy into hydrogen during off-peak operating conditions and uses the resulting hydrogen in a gas turbine and fuel cell during periods of demand. The aim of the study is to develop a concept for creating a hydrogen neighborhood through the effective use of hydrogen technologies in the production of electricity as part of hybrid systems. The paper considers the strategy of electricity and heat supply in a neighborhood with a population of about 6,000 people. The strategies of electricity and heat supply are presented, taking into account the actual energy consumption indicators (hourly load schedules). The presented concept of hybrid technology development considers the use of Russian equipment during implementation. The presence of manufacturing plants producing the entire range of equipment for creating hybrid systems allows not only to implement pilot projects of residential districts, but also to develop a long-term program for the creation of such residential districts in remote areas of the Russian Federation.
