Project Duration: 2016-2019
Source of funds: FCH JU under Horizon2020
Hydrogen production by PEM water electrolysers (PEMWE) has the potential of becoming a key enabling technology in the deployment of FCH technologies in the future energy market as an energy storage system able of delivering hydrogen to different applications and enabling a high penetration of renewable energy sources (RES).
PEMWE has showed capabilities in the emerging hydrogen scenarios to be a valid alternative to previously developed technologies, especially considering the dynamic and versatile operation expected of hydrogen production methods when integrated with RES.
ELY4OFF Project Goals
The development and demonstration of an autonomous off-grid electrolysis system linked to renewable energy sources.
The integration of the electrolyser with different generation and storage elements and loads in a microgrid considering weather forecasts.
The study of business cases for replication to other isolated areas and weak grids.
