“…In order to ensure the safe operation of the system and reduce the operating costs, it is necessary to reasonably configure the production capacity, storage and consumption processes of various energy sources. One of the research priorities is to make reasonable planning for the energy storage capacity and power allocation of the multi-energy complementary hydrogen energy system, and to improve the economic efficiency of the entire system (Li et al., 2019a; Marocco et al., 2020).…”

The hydrogen energy system based on the multi-energy complementary of renewable energy can improve the consumption of renewable energy, reduce the adverse impact on the power grid system, and has the characteristics of green, low carbon, sustainable, etc., which is currently a global research hotspot. Based on the basic principles of hydrogen production technology, this paper introduces the current hydrogen energy system topology, and summarizes the technical advantages of renewable energy complementary hydrogen production and the complementary system energy coordination forms. The problems that have been solved or reached consensus are summarized, and the current status of hydrogen energy system research at home and abroad is introduced in detail. On this basis, the key technologies of multi-energy complementation of hydrogen energy system are elaborated, especially in-depth research and discussion on coordinated control strategies, energy storage and capacity allocation, energy management, and electrolysis water hydrogen production technology. The development trend of the multi-energy complementary system and the hydrogen energy industry chain is also presented, which provides a reference for the development of hydrogen production technology and hydrogen energy utilization of the renewable energy complementary system.

“…As an example, Michailos et al [6] analyzed the biomethane production using an integrated anaerobic digestion, gasification and CO 2 methanation process, assessing the viability of such an integrated energy system. Marocco et al [7], instead, assessed the techno-economic feasibility of H 2 -based energy storage systems; the economic viability of the several analyzed scenarios has been outlined by computing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). In Davis et al [8], the synthetic natural gas (SNG) production through integrated low-temperature water electrolysis and methanation has been studied, providing a detailed economic analysis able to calculate the SNG production cost.…”

“…The specific operation cost of the P2G plant has been assumed equal to EUR 60/kW per year [29]. Regarding C ms , it has been assumed related only to the replacement of the catalyst (C ms,catalyst ) in the methanation reactors and of the SOEC stack (C ms,SOEC ), according to the Equations ( 5)- (7), as reported in [10]:…”

Parametric Thermo-Economic Analysis of a Power-to-Gas Energy System with Renewable Input, High Temperature Co-Electrolysis and Methanation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A complete thermo-economic analysis on a cutting-edge Power-to-Gas system that comprises innovative technologies (a Solid Oxide Electrolyte Cell co-electrolyzer and an experimental methanator) and coupled with a renewable generator is provided in this study. The conducted economic analysis (which has never been applied to this typology of system) is aimed at the estimation of the synthetic natural gas cost of a product through a cash flow analysis. Various plant configurations—with different operating temperatures and pressure levels of the key components (electrolyzer: 600–850 °C; 1–8 bar)—are compared to identify possible thermal synergies. Parametric investigations are performed, to assess both the effect of the thermodynamic arrangements and of the economic boundary conditions. Results show that the combination of a system at ambient pressure and with a thermal synergy between the co-electrolyzer and the high-temperature methanator presents the best economic performance (up to 8% lower synthetic natural gas value). The production cost of the synthetic natural gas obtained by the Power-to-Gas solutions in study (up to 80% lower than the natural gas price) could become competitive in the natural gas market, if some techno-economic driving factors (proper size ratio of the storage system and the renewable generation, electrolytic cell cost developments and introduction of a carbon tax) are considered.

“…Another important problem is that although numerous research and theoretical papers have been published, they do not always capture (or solve) the difficulties encountered in different electricity markets and grids across the world. For example, much of the previous research and piloting related to P2P trading has focused on isolated microgrids (e.g., [26,27]) or assumed that the P2P trading community is balanced by a single entity (e.g., utility) (e.g., [28][29][30]). These starting points differ substantially from the reality that most European electricity users are seeing, i.e., interconnected electricity markets and free choice of suppliers so that even neighboring end users are supplied by different retailers.…”

Framework to Facilitate Electricity and Flexibility Trading within, to, and from Local Markets

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity sharing or trading can empower consumers and prosumers, incentivize the balancing of generation and demand locally, increase system resilience and reliability, and help in achieving societal goals, such as increasing renewable energy penetration. Nevertheless, the development of P2P trading in actual environments has been slow due to the unclear position of P2P markets in the power system. Recent developments in the European legislation are promising for the establishment of P2P markets and energy communities. Hence, the interplay between local trading and existing market structures needs to be addressed carefully. Furthermore, P2P trading with distributed resources presumes that electricity end users will become active players in the power system. This paper proposes a bidding and pricing mechanism for local markets, considering the external markets; a new approach to balance settlement and balance responsibility when local trading occurs; and an interface to promote end-user interest in, and interactions with, local energy trading. The proposed local market concept and interface solution promote the coupling between local and existing retail, wholesale and ancillary service markets, and can be seen as a step towards the establishment of local energy markets in real-life settings.
