About the project

A summary of the project: 


The project aims to develop a system solution stabilizing the operation of electricity distribution networks, which, as part of the distribution network, will enable effective management of electricity. It will by applied by increasing the flexibility of the network in terms of the possibility of connecting new producers of renewable energy, increasing the security and reliability of the network, as well as improving quality parameters of supplied electricity. As part of the project, an intelligent and maintenance-free system for stabilizing the operation of power distribution networks will be developed based on modular installations of a hydrogen energy buffer with the perspective of the commercial use of hydrogen. The result of the project will also be an innovative research methodology covering the selection and aggregation of input data, shaping the relationship between the components (spatial interaction systems). Methods in the area of ​​neural networks, operational research, spatial econometrics, Network Analyst ArcGIS and the management of hydrogen supply chains will be applied.
The project is divided into 5 phases covering industrial research and development works. It will start with the implementation of works at the 5th TRL level, which means that the technology components have been verified in a near-real environment. The project will end at the VIII TRL level - research will be completed, demonstrating the final form of the technology, and the technology will be able to be used in conditions dedicated to it.

Aim of the project: 


The results of the project will be recommendations regarding the optimal values of the parameters of installations stabilizing the operation of power grids with the use of the phenomenon of electricity conversion into hydrogen. It will be the result of the analysis of the reaction time and the slope curve, which will be performed with the use of the central measurement data acquisition system and power quality tools.

Planned effects:


The selection of the optimal energy storage technology will contribute to the equalization of power, frequency, voltage unbalance, voltage (THD) and current harmonics, power supply interruptions caused by discontinuity in the operation of operating devices.
