本研究は、英国の風力・太陽光発電の抑制量を分析し、グリーン水素生産への活用可能性を探る。巨視的プロキシデータを用いた解析により、風力と太陽光の組み合わせが単独電源に比べてエネルギー捕捉量を最大2.26倍向上させることを示した。さらに、最適条件下では水素製造コスト（LCOH）が2060年までに3£/kgまで低減し、抑制エネルギーからの水素が市場平均と競合可能になることを明らかにした。
English
This study analyzes curtailment trends of wind and solar in Great Britain and explores the potential for green hydrogen production. Using macroscopic proxy data, it finds that combining wind and solar can enhance energy capture by up to 2.26 times compared to single sources. Under optimal zero-marginal cost conditions, the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) could reduce to £3/kg by 2060, making hydrogen from curtailed energy competitive with current market averages.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Great Britain’s substantial growth in wind and solar power has created surplus renewable energy. However, intermittency and variable demand cause demonstrable curtailment. This study analyses wind and solar curtailment trends across Great Britain using derived wind and modelled solar data to explore the potential for green hydrogen production. An economic analysis establishes the Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH), considering potential revenue streams and future market evolution. Key findings indicate that based on our macroscopic proxy data, combining wind and solar sources potentially enhances energy capture by up to 2.26 times in specific regions compared to single-source generation. Furthermore, scenario-dependent projections indicate LCOH reduction trajectory reaching £3/kg by 2060 under optimal, zero-marginal cost conditions, together with rendering hydrogen from curtailed energy competitive with current market averages. This research offers a holistic understanding of the economic viability of repurposing curtailed energy, contributing to a sustainable energy transition.
