Abstract: This paper presents the results – and the way towards them – for a field trial of a 120 kWel PEM electrolyser located within the city boundaries of Freiburg, Germany. The plant is equipped with on-site hydrogen storage and connected to the local gas and electricity network. Restrictions in gas feed-in and allowed peak electricity demand apply, and limit operation of the unit. Model predictive controls have been identified in simulations as a promising control strategy for such a case. However to move from simulation into practice few things, presented in this work, should be considered.
