Hydrogen island network at Hochschule Ansbach Smoothing volatile power generation and delivering green power in a predictable way The greatest challenge for the energy supply of the future lies in the storage of large quantities of sustainably generated electricity. Although the expansion of renewable energy sources is still far from supplying countries such as Germany in a carbon dioxide-neutral manner, plants are already shutting down due to temporary overproduction. Hochschule Ansbach has implemented an innovative approach that temporarily stores photovoltaic electricity in the form of hydrogen. The system is designed as a self-sufficient stand-alone grid and can be [...]

Interesting topics at the Energy Talk Last Wednesday, we held our third Energy Talk, where interested citizens can ask questions about energy and sustainability. The participants were joined by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Jungwirth, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Haresh Vaidya, Dr. Gerd Hofmann, Christoph Matschi and Thomas Haupt. This time there were exciting discussions on the design of heating systems, heat pumps and bidirectional charging of cars. With bidirectional charging, not only can the car be supplied with electricity in one direction, but the car's storage unit can also supply the house with electricity. We look forward to the [...]
