Business background analysis for a controlled hydrogen-based microgrid

Abstract

A business study is developed for a marketable hydrogen-based micro-grid powered by a mix of renewable energies. This micro-grid is designed to be installed in an isolated location. It produces hydrogen which can then be consumed in a fuel cell when energy is required or used in a fuel cell electric vehicle. The economic study is divided into three sections: first, a brief introduction of the marketing of hydrogen-based microgrids is given. Then an evaluation of the components of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) is done for the case of this marketable microgrid. Finally, a business plan is done to summarize the economic study of the microgrid and the possibilities of marketing it, showing the possibility of implementing this type of controllers in microgrids based on hydrogen.
