Beschreibung

In a climate-neutral European energy system, green hydrogen from renewable energies will play an important role as an emission-free or low-emission energy carrier for the use in industry and to provide flexibility for the system.

Hydrogen storage facilities can be used in the future for reasons of supply security, for intermediate storage, and for variable production of hydrogen using electrolysis.

These include underground hydrogen storage in salt caverns, aquifers, or pore storage, as well as other forms of storage such as tube storage.

Underground hydrogen storages are more cost-effective than other storage types, such as tube storage or tanks, this is mainly due to their larger capacities.

In existing hydrogen energy system analyses, hydrogen storage has so far been modeled in a highly simplified way.

The aim of this work is to model the operation of a hydrogen storage coupled with a hydrogen power plant.

What you will do

You develop a method to model constituents of an integrated energy system with a focus on hydrogen networks and storage options.
