THE HYDROGEN AS ENERGY

In recent years, the production of electricity from the sun and wind energy has been gaining ground. Countries are working to maximize the share of renewable energy sources in their energy portfolios, including solar and wind farms. As a result, the construction of power plants relying on renewable energy sources is growing dynamically worldwide.

One of the biggest disadvantages of solar farms and wind farms is that they cannot produce electricity evenly or in equal amounts. This state of insecure electricity supply places a serious burden on the network operator to ensure a continuous supply of energy.

One of the biggest challenges in wind and solar power supply is how electricity from renewable energy will be available even when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

Professionals in many countries around the world are working on the possibility to store and use wind and solar energy later. In addition to large power plants that help with electricity balancing, there are working storage solutions that provide a way to provide electricity for a limited period of time when the wind or solar power plant is not generating electricity.

One option for a continuous supply of electricity can be provided by a hydrogen generator.

The energy required for the production of hydrogen for the operation of the generator can be provided by solar parks or wind farms.

This solutions will provide and produce a completely “GREEN ENERGY”.

HYDROGEN PRODUCTION, STORAGE

The hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth and even considered the basic building block of the universe. Hydrogen is primarily found in combination to form water, which covers 71% of the earth’s surface.

Thus, to obtain pure hydrogen, there are three secondary processes,

1) a thermal process;

2) a chemical process;

3) electrolysis.

Smaller power generators use electrolysis to generate and store power for electricity production. That is why we’ve focused on electrolysis in our “G2H SYSTEM“ solutions because it’s considered the cleanest way to generate hydrogen for power generation.

Hydrogen Electrolysis: Electrolysis is the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The process takes place in a special unit known as an electrolyzer – a device that operates pretty much like a fuel cell in reverse. Indeed, many small-scale hydrogen generator manufacturers, use fuel cells to create hydrogen from water molecules.

Similar to the fuel cell, the electrolyzer comprises an anode and a cathode separated by an electrolyte. The way the unit produces hydrogen primarily depends on the type of electrolyte.

Hydrogen produced and unused can be stored in tanks and/or pipelines without energy loss.
