Hydrogenics wins order from E.ON for power-to-hydrogen-gas energy storage project in Germany

Green Car Congress

Power-to-Gas is a novel way to store energy at utility scale, whereby surplus electrical grid power is converted into hydrogen gas. The electrolysis of water into hydrogen whenever surplus electrical power is available is the optimal pathway to increase the renewable content in the energy system mix.

What is Power System Islanding and how to detect it

Baua Electric

Supply from the grid is stopped whereas distributed generation still supply’s the load in such cases DG connected with load is said to be islanded or standalone. In case of microgrid system at the time of Grid failure controllers in microgrid acts in such a way that it itself disconnects from grid and allows DG to power the load.
