Energy Storage Systems have recently become matters of significant interest to mitigate various existing andx000D
imminent issues of power systems. Among different storage technologies, Power-to Gas (PtG) is consideredx000D
the most innovative technology to store and transport energy. The development of PtG technologies createsx000D
potential interactions between the electrical and gas sectors, which could lead to new options forx000D
large-capacities utility scale energy storage. In PtG, electrical energy is used to form hydrogen or syntheticx000D
natural gas (SNG), which can then be injected, transported, stored, and used at a later time in the gas networkx000D
for heating, transportation, and/or electrical generation.x000D
In this project, a model will be developed for the optimal design and operation scheduling of PtG. Thex000D
objective of the model is to maximize the net revenue of PtG through its optimal dispatch for the combinedx000D
purposes of producing renewable hydrogen/SNG fuel and providing power grid services. The services willx000D
include frequency regulation, spinning or Operating Reserve (OR), and Demand Response (DR). Also, thex000D
contribution of PtG in balancing the generation and demand (ramping down) for long durations during periodsx000D
of surplus in baseload generation and/or high penetration levels of intermittent renewable energy resources willx000D
be evaluated. To determine economic competitiveness of PtG compared to other energy storage systems,x000D
revenues from the sale of hydrogen and participation in wholesale electricity markets will be compared to thex000D
capital cost and operating expenses over the lifetime of the PtG equipment.
