Webinar - The Role of Hydrogen in Future Energy Systems
| Description |
|
Hydrogen is a flexible energy carrier that could enable the integration of disparate energy systems, including electricity, heating, and industrial sectors, to improve economic efficiency, reliability, flexibility, environmental performance, and resilience. Indeed, hydrogen can be produced from a variety of sources and is widely used in a variety of industrial and chemical processes. Here we explore the role of hydrogen in high or ultra-high renewable energy systems. First, we provide a short overview of the potential role of hydrogen technologies in the context of sector coupling and the integration of wind and solar photovoltaic power sources in energy systems. Then, we present the results of a case study on the techno-economic analysis of hydrogen-based seasonal energy storage in the Western U.S. power system with 24% to 61% of variable renewable power sources on an annual energy basis (up to 83.5% of renewable energy including hydro, geothermal, and biomass power sources).
