Systems for Energy Supply
An Overview
Hydrogen Energy Storage: "The Hydrogen Battery"
Electrolytic hydrogen production and storage provides a method of storing electrical energy in the form of compressed gas, lowering the cost of large scale energy storage systems. When called upon, hydrogen from storage can be converted back to electricity or used directly as a chemical feedstock.
Virtual Energy Storage:
Electrolytic hydrogen production can be integrated to match power grid demands for electricity so that when said demand is low, the electrolysis system produces and stores hydrogen. When demand is high, hydrogen is released to the fuel cell module to supplement the direct electricity supply guaranteeing the community a consistent dependable energy source.
Overcoming the Renewable Energy Gap
One limitation of renewable energy generation by solar panel or wind turbine is that the energy is available intermittently, only when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. This creates a gap in time between energy supply and demand. Electrolytic hydrogen storage provides a means for storing energy, enabling "stand-alone" operation of systems based solely on local indigenous renewable energy.
