Electrolyser Modelling

[MohammedAbiAfthab]

As you are modelling this kind of hydrogen production and distribution system, and not me, I think you should know better.    But sure, one would certainly expect to have some more storage when the production is less flexible, due to the minimum load levels and avoidance of partial load efficiency losses.

If the electrolysers are meant to be highly distributed and supplying only the local demand at each refuelling station (without interconnections), perhaps one might actually think that they can never be shut down in any season, because there is always some demand in all refuelling stations?  I don't know, but maybe you know?  If so, then you could force the full capacity to be always on-line (as discussed before), which might conceivably be more realistic for such a very decentralized production system. But as shown above, I don't think there would be any partial load efficiency losses ever realized with your current parameters, because it would be cheaper to burn any excess hydrogen in a flare than to decrease the load below 59.8%...

Thanks for your valuable insights.
