Overordnede kursusmål
The focus of the course is on utility-scale multi-technology hybrid
power/energy plants comprising wind power, solar power, electrical
storage, and or P2X conversion technologies like hydrogen
electrolyzers. The students in this course will be designing such a
hybrid power plant using ‘DTU’s Python-based tool HyDesign’ through
simulation. The student will evaluate the profitability and
feasibility of their design through sensitivity studies. During the
process, the students will understand the fundamentals of a hybrid
power plant – such as – the salient features of a hybrid power
plant, factors affecting the profitability of a hybrid power plant,
and evaluation of the performance of a hybrid power plant. Be
motivated to work in teams.

Kursusindhold
This course will introduce concepts of a hybrid power plant
consisting of wind turbines, solar panels, electrical storage such
as battery, and hydrogen electrolyzer connected and operated in
coordination as a singular power plant. The problem, presented by
the instructors, relates to designing and evaluating the
performance of a hybrid power plant to maximize its profit by
selling electricity and hydrogen to the power grid and hydrogen
users respectively. Teams will develop a project plan for the
different aspects of the project, identifying the sub-tasks and the
time plan. Each team will use DTU’s Python-based HyDesign tool
(
https://topfarm.pages.windenergy.dtu.dk/hydesign/)
to design and evaluate the performance of a hybrid power plant. The
teams will perform multiple sensitivity studies on their design
which will be discussed and decided during the development of the
project plan. The teams will present the results in a slide-deck
presentation or a poster presentation, showing the performance of
their hybrid power plant design and possible guidelines to improve
it.
Litteraturhenvisninger
