abstract = {Due to the threat of climate change, renewable feedstocks
$\&$ alternative energy carriers are becoming more necessary
than ever. One key vector is hydrogen, which can fulfil
these roles and is a renewable resource when split from
water using renewable electricity. Electrolyzers are often
not designed for variable operation, such as power from
sources like wind or solar. This work develops a framework
to optimize the design and operation of a large-scale
electrolyzer hub under variable power supply. The framework
is a two-part optimization, where designs of repeated,
modular units are optimized, then the entire system is
optimized based on those modular units. The framework is
tested using a case study of an electrolyzer hub powered by
a Dutch wind farm to minimize the levelized cost of
hydrogen. To understand how the optimal design changes,
three power profiles are examined, including a steady power
supply, a representative wind farm power supply, and the
same wind farm power supply compressed in time. The work
finds the compressed power profile uses PEM technology which
can ramp up and down more quickly. The framework determines
for this case study, pressurized alkaline electrolyzers with
large stacks are the cheapest modular unit, and while a
steady power profile resulted in the cheapest hydrogen,
costing 4.73 €/kg, the typical wind power profile only
raised the levelized cost by $2\%–4.82$ €/kg. This
framework is useful for designing large-scale electrolysis
plants and understanding the impact of specific design
choices on the performance of a plant.},
