DESCRIPTION
This project supports and provides a research context for the BE CRC demonstration project to build a DC hydrogen microgrid in Hobart, based on a 700-kW electrolyser and incorporating photovoltaics, hydrogen storage and a hydrogen turbine to generate electricity, as well as offtake for fuel-cell buses. The research will focus first on modelling the components of the microgrid and the entire energy system. Then the system model and physical microgrid will be employed to emulate operating scenarios relevant to industries in the Blue-Economy Zone Funded by: Blue Economy CRC Co - General Projects; Griffith University; Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania; Pitt & Sherry (Operations) Pty Ltd; Optimal Group Australia Pty Ltd; Hydro Tasmania; University of Tasmania.
