Abstract
These inventions related to systems and methods for producing, shipping, distributing, and storing hydrogen. In one embodiment, a hydrogen production and storage system includes a plurality of wind turbines for generating electrical power; a power distribution control system for distributing, and converting the electrical power from the wind turbines, a water desalination and/or purification unit which receives and purifies seawater, and an electrolyzer unit that receive electrical power from the power distribution system and purified water from the desalination units and thereby converts the water into hydrogen and oxygen. After its production, hydrogen is stored, transported, and distributed in accordance with various embodiments.
Claims5
A method for monitoring, controlling and distributing power output of a hydrogen producing wind farm, comprising:
- a) a power monitoring system that measures the available power output of a wind farm;
- b) a power control system that receives input from the monitoring system and performs the command and control functions required to control the output power of the wind farm;
- c) a plurality of electrolyzer control modules connected to the electrolyzers to monitor and control hydrogen production;
- d) a power distribution system that receives input from the monitoring system, which is required to allocate, balance and route the available power based on a defined computer algorithm to maximize the hydrogen production.
