Project description

The proposed project consists of several parts, with the goal of realizing a laboratory model and prototype of a microgrid, as well as a laboratory model and prototype of a hydrogen electric motor drive with its own developed control and monitoring system.

The laboratory model will include both numerical and simulation-based realizations of the system, while the prototype will represent a physical model. These laboratory models and prototypes will serve as the basis for implementing various control and monitoring models and algorithms, which will require the research and development of corresponding software models.

Another objective is to create advanced models and algorithms for the diagnostics and monitoring of hydrogen technology components and other subsystem components. The project will also enable the evaluation of the laboratory models, prototypes, and their associated control and monitoring systems.

The project focuses on the development and simulation of a laboratory microgrid model integrating renewable energy sources and hydrogen technology. This process involves specifying and dimensioning the microgrid model and its necessary components. The laboratory model and prototype will provide insights into the possibilities and advantages of combining renewable energy sources with hydrogen technology to create sustainable energy solutions.
