Levelised cost based approach for integration of renewable hydrogen in industrial processes

The integration of renewable hydrogen into industrial processes that demand a constant and stable hydrogen supply is challenging because of the inherent variability of renewable energy sources. To address this, energy storage systems can be used. However, an integrated design approach is necessary to decide installed capacities of energy storage systems, variable renewable energy supply (VRES) and electrolyser plant, to ensure the minimum levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for the power-to-hydrogen plant.
