Optimizing Electrolysis and Compression for Green Hydrogen Production
To achieve the lowest carbon intensity, green hydrogen production must be closely matched to new renewable power sources. This presentation delves into the intricate relationship between electrolyzers, hydrogen compressors, and behind-the-meter renewable power sources employed in green hydrogen production. The presentation will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with operating these systems under highly dynamic and intermittent production rates. Case studies, demonstrating optimization of the compressor configuration using thermodynamic simulation models with the production profile of various renewable sources will be shared.
