A model for producing hydrogen via offshore wind electrolysis was developed and the levelized costs of both energy and hydrogen were calculated. This model calculated the cost of hydrogen produced by offshore wind and showed that the levelized cost of energy for hydrogen production and transportation to shore could be lower than for electricity transmission from offshore wind farms, using real wind data from a particular location. Therefore, direct coupling of the electrolysis system with offshore wind turbine is more advantageous than transmitting electricity to shore and then producing hydrogen via traditional electrolysis; the cost of hydrogen from offshore wind electrolysis is estimated to be $2.09/kg versus $3.86/kg from traditional electrolysis using wind power.

开发了通过海上风电电解制氢的模型，并计算了能源和氢气的平准化成本。该模型计算了海上风能产生的氢气成本，并表明使用来自特定位置的真实风能数据，氢气生产和运输到岸上的平均能源成本可能低于海上风电场的电力传输成​​本。因此，电解系统与海上风力发电机直接耦合比将电力输送到岸上再通过传统的电解制氢更有优势；海上风电电解制氢的成本估计为 2.09 美元/公斤，而传统的风电电解制氢成本为 3.86 美元/公斤。
