Abstract

Because of the renewable energy’s weather dependence (e.g. wind, solar) as well as the normally mismatched load profile of energy consumption, the deployment of energy storages in Microgrid system is mandatory for an autarky. The Power-to-X (PtX) technology with Hydrogen or Synthetic gas will be one of the particularly relevant solutions. Self-sufficient (Off-Grid) microgrids incorporating renewable energy sources, Power-to-X and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) were created and investigated. A set of different system designs was sized to fulfill the load demand and analyzed by using a rule-based operating strategy whilst respecting predicted price changes of Hydrogen, Synthetic gas and components. The results show that the deployment of microgrid system using renewable energy, Power-to-X and CHP on the example of the selected industrial site might be a competitive solution for reaching not only decarbonization or carbon dioxide neutrality but also achieves a similar range of the household’s electricity price before 2022.
