Wind-Battery-Hydrogen Integration Study
ABSTRACT
A study was performed to examine the possibility of using batteries and Hydrogen systems to add dispatchability to wind
power. A second study examined the production of hydrogen by wind power for sale into a fuels market. Calendar year 2002
load information from the California ISO was combined with 2002 generated wind power from the Lake Benton wind farm
in Minnesota. Control systems were developed and optimized, and grid operation for 2002 was simulated with batteries,
electrolyzers, fuel cells or other elements. This report presents the results of the two studies.
