Hydrogen Production by Wind Power: An Economic Analysis
Hydrogen systems have been undertaken in this study. As The study utilizes the yearly energy production of a privately-owned wind power plant in Izmir Cesme as a reference. Calculations are based on the facility's annual electrical power curves and the potential hydrogen and electrical power output. The hydrogen power plant operated at approximately 50% load factor, resulting in a hydrogen cost of 0.043 $/MJ. Graphs illustrate potential electricity costs for various load factors. At a 0.40 load factor, the unit hydrogen cost is 0.98 $/MJ, while at 0.70, it decreases to 0.40 $/MJ. The findings are examined, and visual representations are used to elucidate the impact of enhanced power and load factor of the unit cost of hydrogen.
