This work seeks to address the H2@Scale program''s goal to “advance affordable hydrogen production” by optimizing the wind turbine design specifically for hydrogen (H2) production objectives within
This paper describes a concept design for a 25 MW partially superconducting wind power generator intended for self-contained offshore production of green hydrogen. The generator features a high-temperature superconductor rotor energized by flux pump brushless exciters, and copper armature stator windings.
They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. In these clusters, the wind turbines are integrated with electrolyzers that generate hydrogen from desalinated seawater.
Abstract: The global demand for green hydrogen (H 2) is forecast to grow as economies transition away from fossil fuels. Off-shore wind farms are well-suited for H 2 production by electrolysis because they have access to a large and consistent source of renewable energy.
In one proposed configuration, where floating wind turbines are located more than about 60 kilometers out to sea, electricity would be transmitted via HVDC cables to an electrolyzer facility onshore. In the H2Mare research consortium, Siemens Energy is analyzing a decentralized configuration in which hydrogen is produced at each wind turbine.
