Author: Kaitlin Brunik Updated: 7/20/2023 Institution: National Renewable Energy Lab Description: This file outputs capital and operational costs of underground pipeline hydrogen storage. It needs to be updated to with operational dynamics and physical size (footprint and mass). Oversize pipe: pipe OD = 24'' schedule 60 [1] Max pressure: 100 bar Costs are in 2018 USD Sources:

the installed capital cost per kg h2 in 2018

[USD/kg]

  • installed_capex (float): the installed capital cost in 2018 [USD] (including

    compressor)

    • pipe_storage_capex (float): installed capital cost in 2018 [USD]

pipe_storage_opex()#

Calculates the operation and maintenance costs excluding electricity costs for the underground pipe hydrogen storage - Returns:

  • total_opex (float): the OPEX (annual, fixed) in 2018 excluding electricity costs

    [USD/kg-yr]

  • output_dict (dict):
    • pipe_storage_opex (float): OPEX (annual, fixed) in 2018 [USD/yr]
