Storage capacity required for wind power hydrogen production

Can wind solar hydrogen systems improve power supply reliability?

Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency of hydrogen production in electrolytic cells, fully utilize wind and solar energy, and ensure power supply reliability, this paper proposes a hybrid energy storage capacity optimization method for wind solar hydrogen systems with complementary hydrogen production efficiency characteristics.

What is the hydrogen storage capacity?

The hydrogen storage capacity was 2400 Nm³. The system used a 10 kW fuel cell and a 55 kW hydrogen engine as power generators in case no wind energy was available. Electricity supply of the island could be demonstrated from 2004 to 2008 with this hydrogen storage capacity.

What are the requirements for hydrogen storage?

When storing hydrogen, all wiring and lighting fixtures shall be of the explosion-proof type. Electric lighting fixtures must be mounted in a fixed position and guarded against breakage. Extension cords or portable electrical appliances shall not be used, and electric switches and convenience outlets shall not be installed in the storage area.
