power_to_h2

Module containing the definition of the AC grid to H2 links

In this module the functions used to define and insert into the database the links between H2 and AC buses are to be found. These links are modelling:

  • Electrolysis (carrier name: ‘power_to_H2’): technology to produce H2 from AC

  • Fuel cells (carrier name: ‘H2_to_power’): techonology to produce power from H2

  • Waste_heat usage (carrier name: ‘PtH2_waste_heat’): Components to use waste heat as by-product from electrolysis

  • Oxygen usage (carrier name: ‘PtH2_O2’): Components to use oxygen as by-product from elctrolysis

insert_power_to_h2_to_power()[source]

Insert electrolysis and fuel cells capacities into the database. For electrolysis potential waste_heat- and oxygen-utilisation is implemented if district_heating-/oxygen-demand is nearby electrolysis location

The potentials for power-to-H2 in electrolysis and H2-to-power in fuel cells are created between each HVMV Substaion (or each AC_BUS related to setting SUBSTATION) and closest H2-Bus (H2 and H2_saltcaverns) inside buffer-range of 30km. For oxygen-usage all WWTP within MV-district and buffer-range of 10km is connected to relevant HVMV Substation For heat-usage closest central-heat-bus inner an dynamic buffer is connected to relevant HVMV-Substation.

All links are extendable.

This function inserts data into the database and has no return.

Parameters:

scn_name (str) – Name of the scenario

Returns:

None
