Case Study Summary
In the preceding analyses of both case studies, the optimal systems were presented after considering an array of system configurations that met our objectives. The systems that were finally selected, were chosen because they where cost effective while achieving the technical and financial objectives for both scenarios. Here are the system configurations that were finally arrived upon for both off-grid and strong-grid scenarios.
Component | Off-Grid | Strong Grid | ||
Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 | Scenario 3 | ||
Wind Farm | 4x2.5MW | 12x2MW | 12x2MW | 12x2MW |
Electrolyser | 7.5MW | 19MW | 17.5MW | 24MW |
Compressor | 1MW | 1.4MW | 1.4MW | 1.4MW |
Converter | 7.5MW | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Fuel Cell | 4.5MW | 3MW | 20MW | 8MW |
Storage | 24Tonnes | 35Tonnes | 90Tonnes | 1.5Tonnes |
