Investor Presentation
1.
Approach: Project Tasks
Determine system boundary and scenarios with grid, wind and solar.
Electrical custody transfer points: Grid connected, islanded, behind the meter with renewable energy
mix, and power purchase agreement.
H2 custody transfer points: tube trailer, natural gas blending, hydrogen pipeline.
2. Metering and monitoring needs for research vs. commercial systems.
3.
Prepare hydrogen system sizing and demand scenarios along with system testing and characterization
procedures.
4.
5.
Hardware system characterization using demand profiles and test procedures from scenarios above.
Create scalable digital twin. Explore the advantage of shared balance-of-plant (BOP) opportunities,
maintenance schedules, degradation characteristics, and best practices for modular systems.
6.
Use the Renewable Energy Integration and Optimization (ReOpt) tool for short-, mid- and long-term scenarios
for optimizing system sizes. Compressor efficiency and major electrical loads considered in optimization.
7-9 HIL testing along with emulation in the Advanced Research in Integrated Energy Systems (ARIES) virtual
network for pilot scale, decentralized and centralized hydrogen production.
10. Interim reporting on tasks and final report.
Go/NoGo decision 3/30/2023: Testing and Characterization of NREL 1.25MW Electrolyzer. (Pending system
commissioning: May)
