Feasibility Study of Hydrogen Production from Wind Energy in Narvik
The use of renewable energy sources is gaining momentum globally as possible replacements for fossil fuels which have proven to be serial contributors to global warming. Hydrogen is one such environmentally friendly fuel with zero carbon emission proven to be reliable for use in the transport sector...

description |
The use of renewable energy sources is gaining momentum globally as possible replacements for fossil fuels which have proven to be serial contributors to global warming. Hydrogen is one such environmentally friendly fuel with zero carbon emission proven to be reliable for use in the transport sector. Since hydrogen is an energy carrier, its mode of production has for a long time relied on high carbon emission fuels that negate its authority as emission-free fuel. Therefore, this study investigates a green hydrogen production method based on water electrolysis using electrical energy from wind power. The project entails a detailed wind resource assessment around Narvik region through historical meteorological data analysis, and CFD simulations using Windographer and WindSim software programs to ascertain the viability of the wind power potential of the area. Thereafter, the project establishes suitable location(s) for appropriate wind turbine siting to generate optimal net AEP for use in the electrolysers. Subsequently, a detailed analytical calculation is conducted on the possible amount of hydrogen that can be produced when a water electrolyser system is installed at the Djupvik site based on the net AEP values obtained. Finally, there is determination of the probable cost estimates for such a venture. |
