The integration of large-scale electrolysers into the electricity grids presents several challenges and opportunities for the energy sector. Electricity grids’ ability to accommodate very large electrolysis capacity needs to be examined in advance to guarantee the stabilityof the grids. Simultaneously, optimising the utilisation of electrolysers is crucial for maximising their potential contribution to the energy transition. An open-source co-simulation toolbox is presented in this work to enable studying the impacts of large-scale electrolyser deployment on the grid and the electrolysers’ performance. With a scenario-based approach, the toolbox facilitatesthe exploration of diverse operational strategies for the electrolysers, spatial distribution variation and different grid projected conditions. This paper outlines the structure and the elements of this toolbox, which is based on the open-source co-simulation framework mosaik. Furthermore, two showcases are presented to demonstratethe utilisation of co-simulations, providing initial analysis and insights into the simulation results.
