| Sumario: | "The aim of this project is to study the use of energy surplus from local renewable sources at isolated places in Argentina, to produce electrolytical hydrogen as clean fuel for electricity generation. Furthermore, the hydrogen production is seen as a storage technology to attenuate intermittent power supplies to microgrids. Significant knowledge, concerning Hydrogen production, storage and combustión, is available in Argentina at lab-prototype stage. Although experimental research is still required, this work is an approach to the utilization of the existing technology.
Mostly, micro-grids depend on expensive energy generation, as gas turbines or diesel engines that have to work out of their optimal operating point.
As case study, it is considered the city of Río Grande, placed at the province of Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, because it is not connected to the national grid and shows excellent wind conditions.
Together with Río Grande, there are other micro-grids in the region, which could benefit from the incorporation of energy storage technologies and rely on renewable energy.
The analysis of Río Grande’s energy situation, as well as the potential use of wind energy and Hydrogen storage, have shown synergies to reduce energy costs and emissions. Although a general solution was not reached, a scenario is shown in which the hydrogen production and the storage capacity are optimal to offer insight into the problematic and serve as reference for further investigations." |
