This thesis evaluates the energy system effects off co-localizing solar photovoltaics (PV)  production with a filling station for compressed vehicle gas. A MATLAB model was constructed based on gas and electricity consumption data from three actual filling stations for vehicle gas in Sweden. The model was used to simulate how the introduction of a PV  and PVB (photovoltaic battery) system would affect the amount of electricity bought from  and sold to the grid as well as the economic implications connected to this. The results show that a self-consumption of 42 % can be reach already without available energy  storage for an installed power of PV panels matching the power of the gas compressor. A battery storage with capacity corresponding to one hour of electricity generation doubles the self-consumption. The increased self-sufficiency has the potential to decrease the strain on the electricity grid, depending on spatial and temporal factors. The simplistic economic model in this project shows that the return of investment is just over 15 years for a PV system, and less than 21 years for a small battery storage with capacity to store less than one hour of electricity production, however, this should be examined in greater detail if the system is to be implemented.  Since transport has an important societal function, the access to fuel is key from an energy  security point of view. Filling stations require access to electricity to operate, meaning fuel can’t be obtained in case of an interruption. Therefore, the possibility of self-sufficiency during the summer months (May through September) through the added PVB system was evaluated, resulting in enough electric energy to supply 31 % of the current fuel volume supplied yearly at normal conditions. This corresponds to 145 tons of vehicle gas, which could power a private car around 3 220 000 kilometers. The connection between the electricity and transport sectors could be furthered integrated by installing the proposed system which turns the filling station into a prosumer, ideally with some opportunity of self-sufficiency if needed. The modelled filling station handles gaseous fuel, however the conceptual design applies also to liquid fuels. To cover an even larger portion of the fleet, charging of electric vehicles at the filling station could also be examined.

This report aims to analyse how an electrolyser would benefit Region Uppsala in the transition to a more sustainable society and where it would be most beneficial to place it. The studied locations for placement werein Uppsala, Storvreta andKnivsta. The possibilities of how the residual products oxygen and residual heat could be utilized from the electrolysis process is investigated. The economic calculation includes incomes and expenses of all components in the electrolysis process on a yearly basis and on a 15-years period. The climate calculation includes the reduction of CO2-equivalent emissions when using the waste heat from the electrolyser into the district heating network. Since Uppsala got the bus storage in Kungsängen which makes it possible to utilize the hydrogen, the solar park which makes the electricity cheaper and a district heating network that can utilize the residual heat, it seems like Uppsala is the most beneficial place to build a hydrogen fuel station.
