Dynamic Parameter Simulations for a Novel Small-Scale Power-to-Ammonia Concept

Ammonia is a promising carbon-free energy vector, hydrogen carrier, and efficient means for long-time hydrogen storage. Power-to-ammonia-to-power concepts, powered exclusively by electricity from renewable sources, will leave the carbon economy behind and enter a truly renewable era. However, the fluctuating nature of renewables requires a good dynamic behavior of such concepts. Employing the software Aspen Plus Dynamics®, this paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a novel containerized power-to-ammonia solution to be tested at the University of Genova in 2023. Implementing a novel kinetic reaction model, the impacts of several deviations from the optimal values of the cycle parameters are investigated. The simulations provide practical guidance on how to best and safely operate the cycle. A total of ten scenarios were simulated, of which six are acceptable, two are desirable, and two should be avoided. However, all scenarios can be safely controlled by the control infrastructure.
