Professor Dimitris Assanis has received an $59,000 award from Sunrise Wind LLC for the project titled “Understanding economic viability of green H2 production in a wind farm with wake field
interactions.” A previously-developed wind turbine TEA framework will be extended to evaluate
the levelized cost of electricity from a wind farm, inclusive of wake field interactions,
in order to determine when green H2 production is economically viable. An additional
grant of $25,000 from the Center of Integrated Electric Energy Systems (CIEES) to
match will be used to evaluate the techno-economic impact of the proposed technology,
integrated H2 production, on the Long Island, New York City downstate region.
Through a collaborative partnership with Trojanowski, Butcher, Yogarathnam, and Yue
at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the information gained from this proposition
will be leveraged on a larger magnitude to complement Trojanowski’s $1.35M Lab Directed
Research and Development (LDRD) project titled “Hydrogen Research: Design, Engineer,
Materialize, and Operationalize (H2 Research DEMO),“ that aims to utilize renewable
solar power to generate green H2.
Assanis enthusiastically states he is, “excited for this unique opportunity to work
with leadership and members of the Advanced Energy Center, CIEES, and Brookhaven National
Laboratory to better understand decarbonization pathways.”
