Modelling and lab-setting for hydrogen-electricity integration in the energy transition context

Executive Summary The aims of this thesis have been: •??The configuration of the lab setup, for local measurements on on-site resources (PV panels and electrolyser); •??The arrangement of the remote connection between labs and creation of a multi-site co-simulation lab layout, for reproducing the measurements in remote; •??The experimental-based modelling of a PV-field, for studies aiming to integrate PtG plants in the electrical grid; •??The experimental-based modelling (static and dynamic) of a PEM electrolyser, again for studies aiming to integrate PtG plants in the electrical grid; •??The application of the lab setup and the models previously built in order to test and validate the correct functioning of the remote connection. The models of energy transition sources created in this thesis will be later merged into large-scale power grid simulations for investigating the interactions between hydrogen production and renewable sources, as well as their influences on the grid. The multi-site laboratory layout will be applied to remotely test the local resources by realizing a “geographically distributed real-time co-simulation” based on Remote Power Hardware-In-the-Loop concepts.
