Abstract

The Hydrogen Production, Grid Integration, and Scaling for the Future project will inform clean hydrogen production deployment across the planning, procurement, and operation stages of hydrogen production on the grid. Hydrogen production from renewables is a clean source of fuel which is near zero for greenhouse gas emissions and criteria pollutants. The results from this project will inform entities looking to build clean energy projects that produce good paying jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance and operation of these facilities. This project provides system characterization examples, multiple configurations, optimizations, and suggested metering and custody transfer points through multiple scenarios and hardware testing of NREL's state-of-the-art 1.25 MW polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer system to characterize system performance in relevant scenarios. This work also creates a digital twin for emulation in the Advanced Research on Integrated Systems (ARIES) virtual environment and performs hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of pilot-scale, decentralized, and centralized hydrogen systems.
