Costs of energy storage systems on offshore hydrogen platforms can be reduced by 75%, study says

The costs for energy storage systems (ESS) on offshore hydrogen platforms can be reduced by 75%, a study by Dutch green hydrogen company H2SEA found.

The company noted that different configurations have been evaluated, taking both grid stability and cost implications in mind, and one of the configurations that has been modelled, leads to a 75% decrease in costs of the ESS.

One of the cost reduction strategies involves the integration of different transformers optimizing space and cost per megavolt-amperes/m2, as well as the use of a smart ESS, H2SEA further said, adding that a different configuration of the energy storage and electrolyzer system can reduce infrastructure requirements.
