The demand for today and the future is for true zero-emission power. Alternatives must be found to replace fossil fuels. Currently, batteries are a solution for automotive. Unfortunately, they are not suitable for many applications due to limitations with storage capacity, lifetime, charge constraints and environmental concerns. Therefore, green hydrogen production (produced for instance by electrolysis, using renewable electricity) is identified as a promising solution for long-term zero-emission renewable energy storage. Green hydrogen production simulation makes it possible to capture the complete process of green hydrogen production, predict interactions between subsystems and the global performances.
Green hydrogen production simulation can help address the challenges of green hydrogen production. An extensive multi-physics simulation platform is necessary that makes it possible to model complete systems. Sizing the different subsystems, considering various operating conditions is beneficial. It makes it possible to better integrate subsystems and improve the overall performances and ROI
