Abstract
The high percentage of renewable energy penetration poses volatility and intermittency challenges, making it imperative to explore pathways for large-scale green hydrogen production and utilization. In the present work, a novel power-to-H2-to-power (PtH2tP) system is proposed for onshore wind accommodation, incorporating hydrogen mixed gas turbines (HMGTs). An innovative methodology integrating economic and carbon emissions assessment with optimal dispatch is developed, in which the HMGT off-design operational characteristics and policy compensation for green hydrogen are considered. A case study in China demonstrates the feasibility of the PtH2tP system in achieving flexible energy conversion and hydrogen self-sufficiency. Particularly, a levelized cost of electricity of 0.0537 €/kWh and carbon emissions of 0.29 kg CO2 eq/kWh are observed. The fuel consumption of HMGTs and purchased grid electricity are significant contributors to carbon emissions. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis indicates an optimal hydrogen substitution ratio of 31% as the threshold for balancing economics and environmental benefits.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
