Hydrogen Microgrid Challenge Operational Utilizing GKN Hydrogen’s Metallic Hydride Hydrogen Storage
The California Power Fee (CEC), Know-how & Funding Options LLC (TIS) and Cleantech San Diego member GKN Hydrogen introduced that GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI power storage system (ESS) is operational and has been built-in into the Circle Inexperienced Technical Park close to Adelanto on the former Meadowbrook Dairy.
GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI power storage system makes use of steel hydride hydrogen storage to displace a propane generator and utilizing off grid photo voltaic electrical energy will energy the location to help the renewable power expertise improvement actions. The set up will obtain $1.77 million {dollars} of funding from The California Power Fee’s Electrical Program Funding Cost (EPIC) program that invests in scientific and technological analysis to speed up the transformation of the electrical energy sector to satisfy the state’s power and local weather objectives.
The efficiency of the HY2MEDI set up can be evaluated over a spread of environmental and operational situations on the excessive desert web site close to dry lakebed Lake El Mirage. The HY2MEDI operates autonomously to regulate the microgrid, shops out there photo voltaic electrical energy and delivers electrical energy as wanted to help the expertise improvement actions on the Technical Park.
“This venture brings collectively a renewable microgrid at a web site that’s being repurposed, a regional venture and biogas expertise developer and a clear power expertise developer to implement options that may assist decarbonize the facility grid” stated Janice Lin, the Founder and President of the Inexperienced Hydrogen Coalition. “This California Power Fee (CEC) funded venture demonstrates the applied sciences that may allow microgrids to function autonomously, be used to stability the long run electrical energy grid, and assist decarbonize our economic system.”
“This HY2MEDI venture helps us reveal the potential in repurposing the previous Meadowbrook Dairy as a renewable expertise improvement web site” stated Kevin Sutton, CEO and proprietor of Circle Inexperienced, Inc., the venture developer of a brand new composting and inexperienced gas manufacturing facility. “The Circle Inexperienced Technical Park will assist develop and reveal the applied sciences that may allow microgrids to function autonomously, be used to stability the long run electrical energy grid, and assist decarbonize our economic system.”
Paul Prepare dinner, First District Supervisor, San Bernardino Nation acknowledged “The HY2MEDI power storage system will enable the storage and on-demand supply of unpolluted power, whatever the climate or time of day. I’m proud to see San Bernardino County companies proceed to cleared the path in producing and storing clear renewable power.”
Moh Ibrahim, Developer at Know-how & Funding Options LLC (TIS) stated, “We’re honored to be the recipient of a CEC EPIC Award for this venture to validate and reveal an power storage system (ESS) utilizing steel hydride hydrogen storage. This venture will reveal the containerized HY2MEDI power storage system can autonomously management microgrids and retailer out there photo voltaic electrical energy to ship electrical energy when wanted and upon demand to help the renewable expertise improvement at this web site.”
“This Mojave Desert location supplies us the chance to validate the efficiency of GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI power storage system when uncovered to environmental extremes together with sizzling summer time temperatures,” stated Gottfried Rier, Chief Know-how Officer at GKN Hydrogen. “The absolutely containerized and straightforward to deploy HY2MEDI demonstrates its flexibility to generate and retailer hydrogen for lengthy length power storage purposes and helps to buffer power from intermittent renewables, akin to photo voltaic, to allow microgrids to function dependable and resiliently whereas using renewable electrical energy.”
