A Study of Cooperative Operation of Wind Energy Conversion System with Hydrogen Electrolyzer by using Adjustable Speed Flywheel Generator

Abstract

Hydrogen is considered as the energy source of the next generation. This paper proposes a system which consists of FlyWheel Generator (FWG), Wind Energy Conversionr System (WECS), and Hydrogen Electrolyzer (HE), for the purpose of hydrogen generation and grid output power smoothing. The cooperative control among flywheel generator, hydrogen electrolyzer, and wind generator is performed by controlling the flywheel generator. Simulations have been done by PSCAD/EMTDC.
