Data Averaging for Modelling Energy Storage: What Information is Hidden?

Hydrogen could potentially stabilize the varying output energy from renewable sources. Current developments in water electrolysis for the production of hydrogen from renewable energy, focuses on improving costs and efficiencies. Bright Green Hydrogen, based in Methil, Fife, have set up a hydrogen demonstration project called the Levenmouth Community Energy Project (LCEP), to showcase and explore electrolytic hydrogen's advantages as an energy storage system. The site has several measurement points to track performance of the system, with a range of resolutions available for the data. Research is ongoing to find locations and requirements where hydrogen storage for renewable energy is both technically and economically feasible. For this research, it is important that the resolution of the data is carefully considered to avoid losing important details, but also aiding in developing an efficient tool. This paper will discuss a data sample from the system at different resolutions to highlight the risks of losing important details that can have lasting a impact.
