Importance of Model Fidelity of Power to X Devices in Energy System Analysis

Power-to-X (PtX) technologies are accelerating the energy transition. Increasingly, these technologies are also being leveraged as flexible energy resources to support the electrical grid. PtX models are often represented using a constant efficiency term as a linear relation between the power input and energy output. However, the operational...

Investigating Hidden Flexibilities Provided by Power-to-X Considering Grid Support Strategies

Highly volatile nature of renewable energy sources (RES) has increased the demand for flexibility in electrical power systems. Electrification of the industry with power-to-X (PtX) technologies is one of the most promising ways to increase energy system flexibility since industry accounts for the largest share of the world’s total energy demand....
