Hydrogen Microgrid Undertaking Operational Utilizing GKN Hydrogen’s Steel 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 know-how growth 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 fulfill the state’s power and local weather objectives.
The efficiency of the HY2MEDI set up might be evaluated over a spread of environmental and operational situations on the excessive desert website 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 know-how growth actions on the Technical Park.
“This challenge brings collectively a renewable microgrid at a website that’s being repurposed, a regional challenge and biogas know-how developer and a clear power know-how 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 challenge 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 challenge helps us exhibit the potential in repurposing the previous Meadowbrook Dairy as a renewable know-how growth website” stated Kevin Sutton, CEO and proprietor of Circle Inexperienced, Inc., the challenge developer of a brand new composting and inexperienced gasoline manufacturing facility. “The Circle Inexperienced Technical Park will assist develop and exhibit 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 said “The HY2MEDI power storage system will enable the storage and on-demand supply of fresh power, whatever the climate or time of day. I’m proud to see San Bernardino County companies proceed to paved the way 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 challenge to validate and exhibit an power storage system (ESS) utilizing steel hydride hydrogen storage. This challenge will exhibit 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 know-how growth at this website.”
“This Mojave Desert location gives us the chance to validate the efficiency of GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI power storage system when uncovered to environmental extremes together with sizzling summer season 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 period power storage functions and helps to buffer power from intermittent renewables, resembling photo voltaic, to allow microgrids to function dependable and resiliently whereas using renewable electrical energy.”
