Objective
The final objective of the project is to realise a fuel cells based electrical energy storage system. Applications are: 1) energy storage for renewable energies as solar and wind for autonomous networks. Storage capacity is a necessary support to develop these energies (clouds, nights, no wind), 2) power peak lowering device for grid connected users. Distributed energy storage allows the grid load optimisation, regenerating the fuel when energy is available and cheap, providing energy when the grid load is too high. The first step is to develop the technology in the frame of an economically affordable niche market: emergency power sources. Functions are the same, but in this niche market, the cost effectiveness is based on the grain of performance, and on lower costs of infrastructures and operation. The demonstration unit will prove the reliability of the system and open a first industrial for the fuel cells technology with interest for SME's employment.
