Hydrogen Storage for Research Center of Technical University Braunschweig

500 kg Hydrogen Storage for the Hydrogen Terminal at the Technical University of Braunschweig Research Center

GKN Hydrogen delivers unique, safe and compact hydrogen storage system, based on metal hydride technology, with a capacity of 500kg for the “Hydrogen Terminal” project, funded by BMBF, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
The research project is a collaboration between the Steinbeis Innovation Center energyplus (siz energyplus) and the Technical University of Braunschweig.
The storage units will be integrated into the university’s innovation network, contributing to applied basic research and sector coupling.

Bonn / Radevormwald (DE), Pfalzen (IT), and Carlsbad (CA/USA):

GKN Hydrogen, a technology leader and manufacturer of energy and hydrogen storage systems based on metal hydride, has been awarded the contract to install two storage units with a total capacity of 500 kg of hydrogen. The GKN metal hydride storage, due to its nature, is the safest hydrogen storage in the world, storing hydrogen as a metal hydride, a solid, at low temperatures and pressures.

The storage units are scheduled to be integrated into the research environment of the Hydrogen Terminal at the Technical University of Braunschweig in December 2023 and gradually commence operations in 2024. Key components of the research project include:

- Hydrogen production, storage, and distribution,
- HRS -Hydrogen refueling stations for trucks
- Secure hydrogen supply for the fuel cell test benches at TU Braunschweig, the Lower Saxony Research Center for Vehicle Technology (NFF), and the Fraunhofer Project Center for Energy Storage and Systems (Fraunhofer ZESS)

The goal is also to use renewable energy to stabilize the power grid. Hydrogen is generated in an AEM Multicore electrolyzer from Enapter and transported to the metal hydride storage 900 m away via a pipeline.

"We are proud to be part of this important and groundbreaking project. In discussions with the chair's responsible parties, we felt that our technology fits very well into the overall concept of the Hydrogen Terminal. We will all benefit from the experiences of this project and gain valuable insights into the efficient storage and use of hydrogen."

Guido Degen

Chief Executive Officer

Prof. Michael Heere, Head of the Fuel Cell Systems and Drives Group: “At the research airport, we conduct basic research along the H2 conversion and transformation chain. GKN Hydrogen’s solution allows us to safely store a large amount of green hydrogen in a confined space and optimally use it for our research purposes. Storing hydrogen in metal hydride is a safe and durable alternative to current gas storage technology. We anticipate a lifespan of up to 30 years.”

David Sauss, Head of the Steinbeis Innovation Center (SIZ) energyplus on the construction
of the Hydrogen Terminal: “With this research project, we have the opportunity to create an energy center of the future and make the energy transition tangible. Additionally, we decarbonize a part of the research and create a nucleus for future projects and scientific work on hydrogen.”

The research project “H2-Terminal” at the Technical University of Braunschweig Research Airport is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total funding volume of over 20 million euros. It is a collaboration between the Steinbeis Innovation Center energyplus (siz energyplus) and the Technical University of Braunschweig.

Hydrogen microgrid project operational utilizing GKN Hydrogen’s metal hydride hydrogen storage

The project will validate and demonstrate the operation of GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system (ESS) integrated within the Circle Green Technical Park

CARLSBAD, CA, USA, March 13, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — GKN Hydrogen, Technology & Investment Solutions LLC and Circle Green, Inc. announce the operation of a microgrid project utilizing GKN Hydrogen’s metal hydride hydrogen storage.

– The microgrid is located at Circle Green Technical Park near Adelanto at the former Meadowbrook Dairy within an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County.

– The project will validate and demonstrate the dynamic operation of GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system (ESS) integrated within the Circle Green Technical Park and supporting the renewable energy technology development at the site.

– The HY2Medi will replace a propane generator and provide carbon-free resiliency, paired with a solar installation, and long duration backup power in an off-grid application.

– The California Energy Commission provided $1.77 million in funding to deploy GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system (ESS), which utilizes innovative metal hydride hydrogen storage to store excess solar electricity and make it available to support the renewable microgrid.

– The renewable technology development activities at Circle Green Technical Park include a biogas to hydrogen reforming project under development by the University of Southern California.

The California Energy Commission (CEC), Technology & Investment Solutions LLC (TIS) and GKN Hydrogen today announced that GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system (ESS) is operational and has been integrated into the Circle Green Technical Park near Adelanto at the former Meadowbrook Dairy.

GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system utilizes metal hydride hydrogen storage to displace a propane generator and using off grid solar electricity will power the site to support the renewable energy technology development activities. The installation will receive $1.77 million dollars of funding from The California Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program that invests in scientific and technological research to accelerate the transformation of the electricity sector to meet the state’s energy and climate goals.

The performance of the HY2MEDI installation will be evaluated over a range of environmental and operational conditions at the high desert site near dry lakebed Lake El Mirage. The HY2MEDI operates autonomously to control the microgrid, stores available solar electricity and delivers electricity as needed to support the technology development activities at the Technical Park.

“This project brings together a renewable microgrid at a site that is being repurposed, a regional project and biogas technology developer and a clean energy technology developer to implement solutions that can help decarbonize the power grid” said Janice Lin, the Founder and President of the Green Hydrogen Coalition. “This California Energy Commission (CEC) funded project demonstrates the technologies that will enable microgrids to operate autonomously, be used to balance the future electricity grid, and help decarbonize our economy”.

“This HY2MEDI project helps us demonstrate the potential in repurposing the former Meadowbrook Dairy as a renewable technology development site” said Kevin Sutton, CEO and owner of Circle Green, Inc., the project developer of a new composting and green fuel production facility. “The Circle Green Technical Park will help develop and demonstrate the technologies that will enable microgrids to operate autonomously, be used to balance the future electricity grid, and help decarbonize our economy”.

Paul Cook, First District Supervisor, San Bernardino Country stated “The HY2MEDI energy storage system will allow the storage and on-demand delivery of clean energy, regardless of the weather or time of day. I’m proud to see San Bernardino County businesses continue to lead the way in producing and storing clean renewable energy”.

Moh Ibrahim, Developer at Technology & Investment Solutions LLC (TIS) said, “We are honored to be the recipient of a CEC EPIC Award for this project to validate and demonstrate an energy storage system (ESS) using metal hydride hydrogen storage. This project will demonstrate the containerized HY2MEDI energy storage system can autonomously control microgrids and store available solar electricity to deliver electricity when needed and upon demand to support the renewable technology development at this site.”

This Mojave Desert location provides us the opportunity to validate the performance of GKN Hydrogen’s HY2MEDI energy storage system when exposed to environmental extremes including hot summer temperatures. The fully containerized and easy to deploy HY2MEDI demonstrates its flexibility to generate and store hydrogen for long duration energy storage applications and helps to buffer energy from intermittent renewables, such as solar, to enable microgrids to operate reliable and resiliently while utilizing renewable electricity.
