Evaluation of Electric Power Generation From Hydroelectric, Photovoltaic, and Hydrogen Energy in the Hybrid Model

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This study assesses the feasibility of integrating hydro and solar power with a Hydrogen-based Electrical Energy Storage System (H2EESS) at the Serra da Mesa hydroelectric Brazilian power plant. Hydrogen would be produced through water electrolysis, taking advantage of the available excess renewable energy, and subsequently converted back into electricity through fuel cells. The integration of hydro and solar power with H2EESS resulted in an increase of 11.10% in the energy produced compared to conventional hydroelectric generation, with 36.06% of this increase coming from H2EESS. Additionally, there was a 9.71% increase in the utilization of substation capacity. These results highlight the feasibility and benefits of integrating hydro and solar power with H2EESS.
