US 2026/0195829 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A GREEN HYDROGEN PLANT

Abstract

A system and method for controlling operation of a hydrogen plant powered at least partly by renewable energy. The system and method may include: automatically accessing an estimated amount of renewable energy for a renewable energy interval; automatically accessing at least one aspect of grid power energy in a power grid interval; automatically accessing a renewable metric having a renewable metric interval for operation of the hydrogen system, wherein the renewable metric interval is different from one or both of the renewable energy interval or the power grid interval; automatically generating, by reconciling the renewable metric interval with the one or both of the renewable energy interval and the power grid interval, one or more commands for control of the hydrogen system; and automatically controlling, using the one or more commands, the hydrogen system.

Dependent claims

A method for automatically controlling a hydrogen system powered at least partly by renewable energy, the method comprising:

automatically accessing an estimated amount of renewable energy for powering the hydrogen system;
automatically accessing a renewable indicator of grid power from a grid for powering the hydrogen system, the renewable indicator indicative of an amount or percentage of the grid power being generated by one or more renewable energy resources;
and
automatically controlling, based on analyzing both the estimated amount of the renewable energy and the renewable indicator of the grid power in combination, operation of the hydrogen system.

1 more element

A hydrogen system powered at least partly by renewable energy, the hydrogen system comprising:

one or more electrolyzers;
and
a control system in communication with the one or more electrolyzers and configured to:
automatically access an estimated amount of renewable energy for powering the hydrogen system;
automatically access a renewable indicator of grid power from a grid for powering the hydrogen system, the renewable indicator indicative of an amount or percentage of the grid power being generated by one or more renewable energy resources;
and
automatically control, based on analyzing both the estimated amount of the renewable energy and the renewable indicator of the grid power in combination, the one or more electrolyzers of the hydrogen system.
