Integrated Battery and Hydrogen Energy Storage for Enhanced Grid Power Savings and Green Hydrogen Utilization
Source abstract
Abstract
This study explores the integration and optimization of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and hydrogen energy storage systems (HESSs) within an energy management system (EMS), using Kangwon National University’s Samcheok campus as a case study. This research focuses on designing BESSs and HESSs with specific technical specifications, such as energy capacities and power ratings, and their integration into the EMS. By employing MATLAB-based simulations, this study analyzes energy dynamics, grid interactions, and load management strategies under various operational scenarios. Real-time data from the campus are utilized to examine energy consumption, renewable energy generation, grid power fluctuations, and pricing dynamics, providing key insights for system optimization. This study finds that a BESS manages energy fluctuations between 0.5 kWh and 3.7 kWh over a 24 h period, with battery power remaining close to 4 W for extended periods. Grid power fluctuates between −5 kW and 75 kW, while grid prices range from 75 to 120 USD/kWh, peaking at 111 USD/kWh. Hydrogen energy storage varies from 1 kWh to 8 kWh, with hydrogen power ranging from −40 kW to 40 kW. Load management keeps power stable at around 35 kW, and PV power integration peaks at 48 kW by the 10th h. The findings highlight that BESSs and HESSs effectively manage energy distribution and storage, improving system efficiency, reducing energy costs by approximately 15%, and enhancing grid stability by 20%. This study underscores the potential of BESSs and HESSs in stabilizing grid operations and integrating renewable energy. Future directions include advancements in storage technologies, enhanced EMS capabilities through artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the development of smart grid infrastructures. Policy recommendations stress the importance of regulatory support and stakeholder collaboration to drive innovation and scale deployment, ensuring a sustainable energy future.
