    Abstract:

    The increasing integration of variable wind generation has aggravated the imbalance between electricity supply and demand. Power-to-hydrogen (P2H) is a promising solution to balance supply and demand in a variable power grid, in which excess wind power is converted into hydrogen via electrolysis and stored for later use. In this study, an energy hub (EH) with both a P2H facility (electrolyzer) and a gas-to-power (G2P) facility (hydrogen gas turbine) is proposed to accommodate a high penetration of wind power. The EH is modeled and integrated into a security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problem, and this optimization problem is solved by a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) method with the Benders decomposition technique. Case studies are presented to validate the proposed model and elaborate on the technological potential of integrating P2H into a power system with a high level of wind penetration (HWP).
