The Horizon Europe TRINEFLEX project targets energy-intensive industrial processes by integrating energy and process flexibility. A simulation at the Esamur wastewater treatment plant in Spain evaluates green hydrogen production with a 200kWp PV system.

This hydrogen production, via electrolysis, can produce e-fuels from carbon dioxide and aids in achieving EU decarbonization targets. The model, developed using DWSIM, simulates a steady-state process with PEM electrolysis cells, ensuring high efficiency and low energy costs. The simulation considers uniform temperature and constant pressure while neglecting transient phases.
