Optimization and control of hydrogen and energy flows in a Green Hydrogen Refuelling Stations

In this paper, an optimization model of Green Hydrogen Refuelling Station (GHRS) is presented. The GHRS is powered completely by a wind farm to satisfy predefined hydrogen fuel and electrical energy demands. The model based on a mathematical programming is developed to control both energy and hydrogen flows exchanged among the system components. The optimization model has been applied on one week basis to a case study in the province of Savona, Italy. Optimal results are reported taking into account the presence of an additional hydrogen industrial market and a connection with the electrical network.
