It is possible to develop a more adaptable and sustainable energy system by combining hydrogen storage with battery storage. This integration facilitates the energy sector’s decarbonization and opens up new uses for hydrogen, such as in industrial processes, transportation, and as a source of synthetic fuels.
Once green hydrogen is available and economically viable, this type of stationary backup power could be implemented across industries, from datacenters to commercial buildings and hospitals. “Three megawatts is super interesting because that’s the size of the diesel generators that we use right now,” Joppa said.
This integrated approach is crucial with the increasing use of renewable energy, where balancing supply and demand becomes more complex [19, 20, 21]. Improving grid power savings through the best possible utilization of combined battery and hydrogen storage systems is one of the main objectives of this research.
This study explores the integration and optimization of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and hydrogen energy storage systems (HESSs) within an energy management system (EMS), using Kangwon National University’s Samcheok campus as a case study.
The use of hydrogen improved the control over the overcharge and undercharge of the battery and ultracapacitor, and it also minimized the high-stress current ratio in the battery, while the use of battery and ultracapacitor made it possible to avoid fluctuating operating conditions in the hydrogen system .
The specific type of control system (PLC, SCADA, etc.), algorithm (FLC, SMCS, etc.) and power electronics (converter, etc.) should therefore be chosen based on the conditions and goals for each system. The main challenge and frequent showstopper with hydrogen energy storage systems is cost.
