So what?

System RegulationSystem Regulation - second by second balancing of power generation and load, is currently accomplished by adjusting generation today.

The important concept is to balance load and generation

“Dynamic” loads can be a resource!

System Regulation is purchased as a service

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

• Research and technological demo centre

aimed at improving the implementation of

renewable energetic systems.

• Production of hydrogen from a wind farm that

features 24 wind turbines of 5 different

technologies.

OUR SOLUTION

• HySTAT-60/10 Outdoor solution to

produce 60Nm³/H H2.

• H2 compression and storage system.

• H2 ICE to produce electricity.

Customer: Gas natural SDG

Hychico (Patagonia, Argentina)

OUR SOLUTION

• 2 x HySTAT-60/10 outdoor solution to

produce 120Nm³/H H2 and 60Nm³/H O2.

• 1 ICE for natural gas and hydrogen.


• Maximize wind utilization.

• Produce H2 and O2 from wind to

- sell the O2 to an industrial gas company

- use the H2 with natural gas to produce

electricity going to the grid.

• Improve interaction between renewable

electricity and electrolytic hydrogen production

and fuel cells.

• Use of the 20 kW solar panels and a wind

turbine to produce H2.

OUR SOLUTION

• HySTAT-10/10 Indoor solution to produce 10Nm³/H H2.

• Compression, storage and dispensing system (Air Liquide).

• HyPM 12 kW Fuel cell.

• 2 HyPM12 Kw (Integrated in a shuttle bus andan electric delivery vehicle)
