Advanced control based on MPC ideas for offshore hydrogen production

Abstract

The article deals with the design of a Model Predictive Control strategy in an offshore platform located in the Atlantic Ocean that produces hydrogen from the energy of the wind and the waves. This renewable energy is the energy source that feeds a set of electrolyzers which produce hydrogen, taking into account the energy available and optimizing the operation of the plant. The results of the simulation are presented, showing the correct operation of the platform under the proposed control.
