With power-to-gas technology, you don’t need to stop renewable power generation when demand is low. Instead, the excess electricity can be used to make hydrogen that can be integrated into existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure and stored for later use. Power-to-gas systems are currently in place in Germany and Canada.

is developing a pilot plant in Falkenhagen in the north east of Germany to convert power from wind energy into hydrogen which can then be stored in the country’s gas grid. Using power from renewable energy sources, the plant will produce about 360 m 3 (30 kg) of hydrogen per hour from 2013 onwards through electrolysis.

Starting in 2013, Audi will begin series production of TCNG models whose engines—derived from TFSI units—will be powered by e-gas: synthetic methane produced via the methanation of hydrogen produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity. achieving a neutral CO 2 balance across the entire mobility chain.

The cylinder head, injection system, turbocharger and catalytic converter were modified accordingly for the CNG engine. Due to the fuel’s high hydrogen content, a CNG automobile emits approximately 20% less carbon dioxide than a comparable gasoline model. Operation with the knock-resistant fuel CNG enables a higher 12.5:1

Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.

Without sunlight, solar panels become useless, their broad expanse then serving only to lose heat. Batteries lose capacity, and their liquid components freeze, requiring a power-hungry cycle of using much of the power in batteries just to heat themselves. At night the temperature falls to -220 °C, as cold as Pluto.

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. So what exactly is energy storage? Mechanical storage.

Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. Advantages of V2G in grid perspective 2. The topic is great.
