The Western Australian government recently shared the outcomes of a groundbreaking initiative that merged hydrogen and solar energy to establish a microgrid in Denham. This project, now operational, stands as a first-of-its-kind with a 704kW solar farm, a 348kW hydrogen electrolyser, a 100kW fuel cell, and a 1.5MW/1.7MWh battery energy storage system. A key aspect of the project is the aim to enhance understanding of hydrogen technology, costs, regulations, and community views on hydrogen as a fuel source. The project yielded significant results, generating over 4,000kg of hydrogen, 40MWh of hydrogen-derived electricity, and 1,800MWh from the solar farm. Challenges in synchronizing solar and electrolyser loads were addressed through a sophisticated dispatch system relying on controlled algorithms. Premier Roger Cook expressed optimism about hydrogen's future role in renewable energy, underscoring the project's contribution to guiding similar ventures in Western Australia and beyond.
