Abstract
The model is suited for simulation and control of hybrid energy grids (HEGs) which rely on advanced use of MGT and hydrogen as energy carrier. In this regard, the MGT model is used in the simulation of an HEG based on an appropriate mix of renewable (non-programmable) and non-renewable (programmable) energy sources with hydrogen storage and its reuse in the MGT. Here, the MGT is used as a programmable energy vector for compensating the deficits of renewable energies (such as solar and wind) with respect to user demand, while excess renewable energy is used to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water. The simulated HEG comprises a solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) plant (300Â kW), an MGT (100Â kW) fuelled with natural gas and hydrogen blends, a water electrolyzer (WE) system (8Â bar, 56 Nm3/h), a hydrogen tank (54Â m3), and an Energy Management Control System (EMCS).
