This repository holds:
- data of the fuel consumed by the MTD and UI fleet.
- analysis of the hydrogen required by those fleet to become carbon free.
- information of different methods to produce hydrogen.
This repository holds the data analysis, figures, that will lead to quantitative recommendations for the optimal reactor size.
Multiple scenarios will be addressed:
- The reactor itself is free (significant reduction in capital cost).
- The reactor still has a price tag and higher capital cost.
- Increasing penetration of variable renewable energy sources.
- Add grid flexibility in the form of H2 and thermal storage.
TEMOA is an open source modeling tool available on GitHub. Follow the installation instructions here.
After creating a database in sql, navigate to the directory with your database:
sqlite3 [filename].sqlite < [filename].sql
if you don't have sqlite installed, run:
sudo apt-get install sqlite or sudo apt-get install sqlite3
TEMOA models can be run from the command line, current iterations use the online model platform at model.temoacloud.com.
2/14/20 : The optimal reactor size for scenario one (basic recommendation).
Generating typical time histories was done by using RAVEN an open source tool from INL. This repository should be in a folder adjacent to raven. See directory map below for an example.
To install RAVEN follow the instructions from INL.
Some of the data has not yet been cleared for publication so a shared link cannot yet be provided. Shared links for data that is already publicly available have been provided below.
In order to execute the jupyter notebooks the data files should be downloaded to your computer in a folder called
