    Abstract

    Integrating wind energy and electrical car fleets to electrical grids can result in large and erratic fluctuations from additional power sources and loads. To identify the potential use of hydrogen storage in hydrogen-hybrid-electric vehicles, a grid-to-vehicle model (G2V) with three different scenarios has been modeled. The target is to maximize hydrogen supply to vehicles, and to facilitate more renewable energy onto the grid. Daily analysis for an existing network shows that under passive demand conditions extra wind is allowed onto the network, but some wind must be curtailed, while not all the hydrogen demand can be satisfied. With active demand, all of the wind is utilized and all hydrogen demand can be met. In addition a significant amount of hydrogen remains in store at the end of a day.
