Summary: The use of power-to-gas hydrogen technology will unlock the potential for load factors approaching 100%-an extremely efficient and cost-effective way of generating elect1icity. It will also mitigate the fluctuation of renewable generation and increase confidence in the security of supply. We expect the implementation of an effective storage system will deliver a true dispatch solution in which solar generation can cover supply 24/7 and potentially be used as an alternative to baseload. This firming of output will also mean solar farms are able to gain more income through solar power purchase agreements (PPA) which, in turn, will provide a path to more affordable power for consumers. Through student placements and the training of young researchers, this project-the first of its kind-will bring a skills uplift. We will share the research finding in the community, and the deliverables are applicable to all solar farms in Australia.
