Abstract:

To address the significant fluctuations and storage and transportation challenges associated with renewable energy, an off-grid wind-solar hybrid hydrogen production and green ammonia synthesis system was proposed. The levelized cost of ammonia(LCOA) between the wind-solar hybrid system and standalone wind and solar energy systems was compared, and sensitivity analysis on the green ammonia cost of the system was performed. Based on actual wind-solar output data, the system tightly coupled capacity design with operation scheduling. Hourly scheduling optimization was performed under constraints of equipment operation status and capacity configuration, aiming to maximize the system's economic returns through a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm. The hybrid strategy effectively reduced renewable energy volatility. Energy storage devices smoothed out hydrogen and electricity fluctuations, ensuring continuity and stability of energy supply. The research results provide a feasible basis for implementing wind-solar hydrogen-ammonia integrated projects in remote and weak-grid areas or regions where grid connection is challenging, and serve as a reference for the construction of future demonstration projects.
