Utilisation of alkaline electrolysers in existing distribution networks to increase the amount of integrated wind capacity

•Pressurised alkaline electrolysers are utilised as dynamically controlled demands.•Distributed wind power generation is used to produce hydrogen for fuel cell cars.•A novel approach is used to size, place and control alkaline electrolysers.•The actual characteristics of electrolysers are used in the simulations.•The need for distribution network upgrade is deferred.
