Abstract
The global energy sector is facing a deep transformation, as it is rapidly moving from fossil fuel sources towards a strong decarbonization in the coming decades. Renewable energy sources will lead to a deep electrification of the system, but their variability has to be managed on a daily and seasonal scale. In this Master Thesis Project Hydrogen Seasonal Storage is investigated as a possible solution for enhancing the flexibility of the electricity system with high shares of renewables, considering the Italian case. The surplus electricity produced from renewable energy sources during summer months is used to produce hydrogen, which is stored and then re-converted into electricity through fuel cells, when the renewable generation is not sufficient to meet the demand, namely during winter months.
The COMESE model has been used in this study, a section for the analysis of seasonal storage systems has been added to the code and some scenarios of the Italian electricity system by 2050 with hydrogen as a seasonal storage option has been simulated, starting from a Reference Scenario estimated following the Italian long-term strategy for greenhouse gas emissions reduction guidelines
