This project supports and provides a research context for the BE CRC demonstration project now underway to build a DC hydrogen microgrid in Hobart, based on a 700-kW electrolyser and incorporating photovoltaics, hydrogen storage and a hydrogen turbine to [...]
The main objectives of this research project are to undertake a feasibility study into the maturity of hydrogen and ammonia powered vessel technology, to consider the near-term market for such vessels operating in Australian waters and for overseas vessel [...]
Reliability and safety are critical for any successful power system operation. A well-designed power system ensures robust performance and maximises the withstanding capability under all normal and transient operating conditions. Moreover, a power system primarily supplied by renewable energy sources [...]
Photovoltaics, batteries, supercapacitors, electrolysers and fuel cells are all natively DC. DC power is common in marine settings. Networking these components into a microgrid using high-efficiency DC–DC converters is logical, but problematic in practice, and few suitable DC–DC converters [...]
Through its flexibility as an energy carrier, hydrogen plays a key integrating role in the Offshore Renewable Energy Systems Program (RP3) of the Blue Economy CRC. Hydrogen for electricity and fuel, and oxygen for aquaculture, will be co-produced by [...]
The Offshore Renewable Energy Systems Program (RP3) of the Blue Economy CRC has a key milestone to deliver a demonstration offshore/high energy renewable energy system, encompassing offshore renewable energy conversion technologies, a microgrid with integrated storage (electrochemical, hydrogen, …) [...]
The Australian Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (BECRC) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have investigated the energy requirements of the offshore aquaculture industry and considered the feasibility of co-locating offshore aquaculture with ocean renewable energy (ORE) as [...]
