Abstract

In many power markets, wind power suffers from poor capture prices due to correlated weather in the area. This paper studied the contribution of local green hydrogen production on the profitability of WP production. A local market for hydrogen was assumed. The studied hydrogen market included different levels of industrial H₂ demand and infrastructure, including investment plans for Power-toAmmonia, Power-to-Methane, and Power-to-Methanol plants. Using the techno-economic linear optimization model SmartP2X, we showed that reaching profitability in wind power was possible when the selling price of hydrogen in the local market was 3.5-4 εkg. At this level, the H2 production increased the wind power revenues by 8-12 εMWh.
