| Abstract | |
The work aims to verify the economic feasibility of renewable hybrid systems for hydrogen production and storage in the Brazilian electric power sector. The methodology applied is based on economic cost analyses of the two largest wind and solar photovoltaic plants in the country. As a result, the number of hours of electricity available for hydrogen production directly influences its cost. However, fully dedicated plants to produce green hydrogen have shown economically feasible to the exporter or other sectors, being trading hydrogen is more profitable than transforming it back into power. The model also concludes that wind and solar hybrid systems for hydrogen production and storage are still not economically viable in Brazil. The CAPEX of electrolysers and their operating losses are still very significant. Finally, hydrogen production and storage become economically feasible only from plants operating above 3000 h and for electrolysers with a CAPEX of USD 650/kWe.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
