Abstract (en)

A system (100) and method (500) for hydrogen, H<sub>2</sub>, production and storage, are provided. The system comprises an electrical power source (110), at least one electrochemical arrangement (120) arranged to produce hydrogen, H<sub>2</sub>, and at least one storage unit (130) arranged to store the hydrogen, H<sub>2</sub>, produced by the at least one electrochemical arrangement. The system further comprises a control unit (140) being configured to receive a first set of data (150) associated with a first cost of electrical power, receive a second set of data (160) associated with a second cost of at least one ancillary service associated with the electrical power, and control an operation of the at least one electrochemical arrangement, based on the electrical power provided from the electrical power source, by at least one optimization criterion (170) as a function of the first set of data and the second set of data.
