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 [...]
