Canadian Hydrogen Convention

WSP is proud to be a gold sponsor of the Canadian Hydrogen Convention. The event brings the entire Canadian supply chain together to discuss innovations and solutions for low-carbon hydrogen production, energy infrastructure, storage, and the path forward as Canada works towards net zero by 2050.

We believe that for societies to thrive, we must all hold ourselves accountable for tomorrow. As part of building the hydrogen economy, at WSP we embrace our responsibility to address complex challenges and deliver the advice, engineering expertise, technical capability and project execution that will yield a sustainable, prosperous, and resilient society.

Optimization of a Renewable Energy System to Power Hydrogen Electrolysis
April 26, 2023 | 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM (MDT)
Salon 10

The generation of green hydrogen through electrolysis requires a large amount of plentiful, cheap and stable, green energy. The levelized cost of both onshore wind and solar energy have steadily decreased over the years to the point where both forms of generation are the most cost competitive in many jurisdictions. However, both solar and wind energy have high intermittency, which can significantly impact the performance of the electrolysis of hydrogen especially for applications where stable and consistent hydrogen production is required (e.g. green ammonia synthesis). The intermittency of the renewable energy system can be mitigated through parallel optimization of the power generation profiles with the sizing and operation of hydrogen production and storage system. A temporally consistent timeseries methodology will be presented, with quantified techniques to optimize the design and utilization of hydrogen plant to minimize the levelized cost of green hydrogen for specific demand scenarios. After the presentation, the audience should have a clear understanding of the optimal integration of a modern renewable energy generation system with a green electrolysis facility for low-cost green hydrogen production.

Hydrogen Lifecycle: Make It. Move It. Use It.

Hydrogen is a key piece of the energy transition puzzle. Decarbonizing the global energy system requires a long-term structural change from carbon-intensive fuels to lower and zero-carbon energy solutions. Now at the core of both governments’ public policy and private corporations’ strategy, aggressive targets are being implemented to reduce the greenhouse emissions by 2050. WSP is uniquely positioned to advise clients with a proven technical expertise to navigate a holistic approach to their projects – optimizing strategy and staying competitive in their transition toward economically sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.

HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline: Leading the UK's net zero journey with hydrogen

Pre-feasibility design work and planning work for a pioneering hydrogen project that will put the UK at the forefront of net zero innovation. At WSP, we’ve advised gas distribution company Cadent as they lead this energy transition project through its lifecycle and to provide a new way to power the UK’s industry and communities.
