abstract = {Hydrogen production from renewable electricity in
power-to-gas concepts is promising for future energy storage
systems since hydrogen offers high energy density and can be
used emission free. Economically viable power-to-gas
applications require high efficiency and thus low specific
energy demand of the hydrogen production. Energy is required
for hydrogen production via water electrolysis, but also for
gas conditioning. Gas conditioning includes mechanical gas
compression to a defined storage pressure and gas drying to
purify the raw hydrogen. The energy demand of gas
conditioning can be reduced by operating pressurized
electrolyzers. However, pressurized operation increases the
energy demand of the electrolyzer. To determine the optimal
operating pressure of the electrolyzer, the overall
power-to-gas process has to be considered. In this paper,
the energy demand of the overall power-to-gas plants is
optimized considering compression and temperature swing
adsorption (TSA)-drying of hydrogen. It is shown that an
optimum pressure for each operating condition in the
electrolyzer in relation to the efficiency exists. This
optimal operating pressure depends on the current density in
the stack and the hydrogen storage pressure. When operating
the system with load adapted operating pressure efficiencies
between $55\%$ and $73\%$ for the whole power-to-gas plant
can be achieved.},
