Abstract

Intermittent renewable systems and increasing electric vehicle (EV) penetrations increase load intermittency - and will require expensive distribution system infrastructure upgrades. Power-to-gas (P2G) systems are highly controllable loads that can be modulated to regulate the net load behind the meter. In this work, we present an active load management approach using P2G systems to regulate the net load for an EV charging station with high penetrations of renewable generation. The system also validates the feasibility of the proposed approach using a 750-kW electrolyzer operated with the distribution system in a real-time power-hardware-in-the-loop test. Finally, we evaluate the impact of the size of the P2G system on its ability to regulate the net load.
