According to Amir Kabir University of Technology, Dr. Hossein Gharibvand, with the guidance of Professor Gork Gharabatian, a faculty member, and Professor Amjad Anvari Moghaddam from the University of Albourg, Denmark, a project aimed at modeling and improving the flexibility of energy in the area.
Gharibvand said: “In the current situation, sustainable energy supply is one of the most important global concerns.” In the meantime, the use of renewable energies such as solar and wind has been proposed as a solution. But the uncontrollable and fluctuation in the production of these resources disrupts the balance of production and energy consumption.
“For this reason, energy flexibility is of particular importance in the power system,” he said. One of the ways to upgrade this flexibility is to use energy storage systems, especially green hydrogen; Hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy.
The project executive said: Nzed areas, which have approximately as much as their consumption during the annual production period, require accurate mechanism for balance of production and consumption. For this purpose, the use of green hydrogen is a good option for these areas due to its long -term storage capability, lack of spontaneous discharge, and connection to other energy carriers.
Implementation of Green Hydrogen Projects in the last three years by the European Union
Gharibvand, referring to the various applications of hydrogen, said: “The European Union has implemented 5 projects in the field of green hydrogen over the past three years; Including research in the aviation industry, heating, gas infrastructure and hydrogen valleys. In Iran, the National Hydrogen Document is also being developed and there is the capacity to convert the country into a hub of green hydrogen production and export.
He explained the innovations of the study: In this dissertation, the modeling of a Nzed area was carried out with three energy carriers including electricity, hydrogen and heat. An annual testing system was also designed for the first time studies of energy flexibility. Also, two new indicators, including the “Green Hydrogen Equipment Capacity Index” and “Green Hydrogen Planning Index”, were defined and introduced.
Gharibvand added: “These indicators allow investors to determine the optimal capacity of the electrolysis, tank and fuel cell, given the technical and economic conditions.” Also, the review of the recovered heat from the equipment also showed that it can be used for heating in cold areas and with an regional heating system.
He continued: Among the problems of this project are the lack of separated load information for one year and the lack of appropriate technical indicators for green hydrogen equipment. However, we have succeeded in creating a comprehensive test system that could be a reference to future studies.
Gharibvand said about the scientific results of the project: The result of this study is the publication of two Q1 articles and two conference articles and one article under arbitration in the internationally accredited journal. An article on the feasibility of green hydrogen production on the southern coast of Iran as well as the study of flexibility resources in micro -networks are among the outputs of this study.
The results of this study could help develop the country’s energy policies, facilitate investment in clean energy and design advanced power systems, the researcher said. Also, due to the focus on long -term timing and analysis of several energy carriers, this study has competitive advantage over similar studies.
