Control Systems of Offshore Hydrogen Production by Renewable Energies
Abstract: This thesis deals with the design of an Energy Management Systems (SEM), based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) to balance the consumption of renewable energy by a set of electrolysis units. The energy generated at the installation is balanced by regulating the operating point of each electrolysis unit and its connections or disconnections, using an MPC based on a Mixed-Integer-Quadratic-Programming algorithm. This Predictive Control algorithm makes it possible to take into account predictions of available power and power consumption, to improve the balance and reduce the number of connections and disconnections of the devices. For this, different case studies are carried out on installations composed of wave and wind energies. Reverse osmosis is considered as an intermediate step for water production which feeds a set of electrolyzers. Validation using measured data at the target location of the installations shows the adequate operation of the proposed EMS. In addition, the thesis also presents the design of a short term system control system (seconds) coupled to the EMS for the hydrogen-based microgrid. Finally an economic study of the components of this microgrid is developed.
