Coastal Electrification Using Hydrogen Technology and Distribution Grid Flexibility Potential

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the impact of electrifying a coastal fishing fleet on the distribution network. The objective is to address a production and capacity planning challenge by optimizing hydrogen production over the system’s lifetime, while also exploring the possibility of utilizing the hydrogen storage to enhance system flexibility. The scope includes: scenarios to assess how the electrification of the coastal fishing fleet affects the distribution network, and conducting simulations to investigate the load flow problem connecting a water electrolyser to the grid. The study will also examine the potential for flexibility in the Lofoten area, utilizing the electrolyser for flexibility purposes from a DSO perspective.
