A Review of Renewable Electricity Cost and Capacity Factor Impact on Green Hydrogen Levelized Cost in Off-grid Configuration

Green hydrogen development is still at a niche stage and faces several technical & commercial barriers. Among them the high LCOH (Levelized Cost of Hydrogen) green hydrogen, predominantly due to cost renewable electricity. In recent years, research studies have focused on finding most cost-effective electricity option feed electrolyzers for producing hydrogen. However, their findings suggest that costs vary widely between solar, onshore wind, offshore wind technologies based meteorological conditions location. With focus United Kingdom (UK), this paper does high-level business case analysis assess options considering impact in off-grid configuration. The uses capacity factors generated from UK. discusses how an configuration could be effective bringing down reducing curtailments
