PROJECT SUMMARY
This research explores the role of hydrogen electrolyzers in supporting power system stability, specifically, improving frequency response in renewable energy grids. This work involves developing a detailed model of an electrolyzer based on experimental testing to accurately capture its electrical behavior. The study also simulates various power system scenarios to assess how electrolyzers can enhance frequency control during renewable energy variations. By comparing system performance across different configurations, the research aims to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen technologies to strengthen grid reliability and flexibility in future energy systems.
