Abstract

The paper finds optimal control strategies for energy storages with low efficiency of energy exchange with the electricity network and estimates investment returns for several types of hydrogen energy storages. A method for computation of the optimal storage volume is obtained. The paper shows a high investment attractiveness of hydrogen energy storages in the medium term.
