Economic and Technical Modeling of a Distribution Network against a Crisis with the Participation of Hydrogen and Methanol Fuel Cell-Based Powerwall Units

The increase in extreme weather events and unforeseen events has made the need for resilience and resilience of electricity distribution networks more evident than ever before. This paper presents a comprehensive technical and economic modeling of a crisis-resistant electricity distribution network using hydrogen and methanol fuel cell-based energy storage units (Powerwalls). The main objective of this research is to provide a framework for assessing the reliability and economic justification of deploying these technologies in distribution networks to increase resilience in critical situations such as widespread power outages, natural disasters, and emergencies. The research methodology includes developing dynamic and electrical models for fuel cells and Powerwalls, economic modeling to assess costs and benefits, and running simulations under different crisis scenarios. Key results indicate that combining hydrogen and methanol fuel cells with Powerwalls can significantly improve grid reliability indicators, reduce energy losses, and ensure the stability of power supply during crises. From an economic perspective, the cost-benefit analysis indicates a good return on investment for deploying these systems, especially in crisis-prone areas. By providing an integrated approach, this research takes an effective step towards designing and operating sustainable and resilient electricity networks to face future challenges
