16 май 2022 г. - (POLAND) PKP and SBB team up in Poland to develop hydrogen energy storage system

Описание:

PKP Energetyka, an electricity distributor to the Polish railway network, has signed a PLN 3 million (US$668,000) contract with SBB Energy to build an innovative hydrogen energy storage system, which uses renewable energy, to power the railroad.

The hydrogen energy storage system, which will be fed with energy from a solar farm, will be built at the Garbce traction power substation in south-western Poland. PKP Energetyka and SBB Energy will work together to construct the hydrogen system, with SBB providing a set of components. The commissioning of this facility is scheduled for 2023.

The partnership and storage system are part of a wider research and development project by PKP to test the feasibility of using hydrogen for powering railroads in the future.

According to PKP, the purpose of the system being developed with SBB is to store all the energy produced by the solar farm and not used for current traction purposes. The hydrogen-based energy production and storage system will consist of an electrolyser that converts energy harvested from the sun into hydrogen, a hydrogen storage system, and a fuel cell that converts the hydrogen back into electricity.

According to the schedule, next year PKP Energetyka will be the first company in Poland to use this pioneering system of supplying the railroad with energy based on hydrogen from renewable energy. It will allow up to 23 kg of hydrogen to be stored at one time with the power outputs of the individual components determined at 36 kW for the electrolyser, 20 kW for the fuel cell capacity, and about 150 kWp for the solar farm.
