Advancing Grid Stability and Resilience Through Integrated Distributed Energy Resources and Hydrogen Units

This paper advocates for the integration of distributed energy resources (DER), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hydrogen units (HU) with a focus on achieving net-zero objectives while addressing the optimization challenges associated with necessary capacity. Emphasizing the importance of optimal asset placement, including BESS, to prevent cascading failures during power disruptions, the research explores advanced strategies for grid stability and resilience. The study introduces a novel approach involving hybrid DC/AC connectivity, where distributed renewable energy systems (DRE), BESS, and hydrogen units connect to a separate transformer.
