2 ENERGY STORAGE: THE CASE FOR HYDROGEN ALL ENERGY 2014 ABERDEEN 22 ND MAY 2014 Contents: Introduction to ITM Power The Need for Energy Storage P2G Energy Storage Thüga Group P2G Energy Storage Project Summary

3 INTRODUCTION HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND CLEAN FUEL PRODUCTION

4 RAPID RESPONSE ELECTROLYSER Available in 1MW modules Responds in 1sec Self pressurises to 80bar Wind Power Energy Storage ITM Electrolyser Grid Clean Fuel RAPID RESPONSE HIGH PRESSURE HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS

5 RAPID RESPONSE PEM ELECTROLYSIS 25kg/day Stack Scales to 1MW On Off 0-100% in 1 Second Self pressurising up to 80 bar 1MW in 20ft container 0.5MW Stack Configuration POWER-TO-GAS STACK

6 WHAT S UNIQUE ABOUT ITM ELECTROLYSERS? Rapid response Self pressurising 1 sec response time 80bar self pressurising 1MW units 360KW POWER-TO-GAS MODULE

7 COMPLIANCE ISO accreditation CE marking of electrolyser and dispenser systems Hydrogen On Site Trials (HOST) for mobile hydrogen refueller Airside hydrogen fuel ISO ISO 9001 ISO ISO CE Marking PED LVD MD EMC Compliance HAZOPS HSE Fire Service Planning Standards BSI PVE 3/8 ISO/TC 197 BSI GEL 105 ISO/TC 105 COMPLIANCE

8 ENERGY STORAGE THE NEED THE MARKET

9 GROWING WIND GENERATION Evidence of grid balancing problems from Germany, Denmark and Spain Problems start at 20% capacity; UK hit this threshold at the end of 2013 Energy Storage is a Market Pull 20% of peak capacity (55GW) in Winter 20% of peak capacity (40GW) in Summer Source: ITM Power plc, data from BWEA ENERGY STORAGE: THE NEED HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS

10 BALANCING SUPPLY AND DEMAND: A total of 725m paid for balancing services in Estimates in 2020 are: circa 1.9bn - 5.9bn pa Tariffs already operational in the UK THE NEED: GRID BALANCING

11 WHY POWER-TO-GAS? Electricity cannot be stored easily Hydrogen can be stored easily in the gas grid Source: ITM Power plc POWER-TO-GAS RATIONALE

12 ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES Power-to-gas is efficient long term low energy cost Source: ITM Power plc ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES

13 Hydrogen fraction (vol%) Fraction wind output curtailed HYDROGEN FRACTION VS EXCESS WIND LEVELS Capturing 2.8 TWh pa of excess wind (ie 4% of 2020 output) Requiring 978MW of electrolysis at 30% utilisation Results in average national hydrogen content of 0.5%, reducing carbon footprint by 0.2% 3.5% 3.0% 725 TWh p.a. natural gas consumption, 30 GW wind capacity (2020) 35% 30% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% 25% 20% 15% 10% Hydrogen fraction 5% Curtailment 0% Excess wind (TWh pa) Source: ITM Power plc POWER-TO-GAS IN THE UK

14 EU Hydrogen Limits for Injection into the HP Gas Grid Covered by a range of local laws and EU Directives Note: interpretation of these rules is complex Limit falls to 2% if there is a CNG station downstream EU POWER-TO-GAS ENERGY STORAGE

15 GAS USAGE IN THE UK (DUKES 2013) Where does the gas go? 906 TWh of natural gas consumed in the UK in % was used to provide heat 34% burned in power stations to make electricity Source: Dukes 2013 WHERE DOES THE GAS GO?

16 ELECTRIFY HEAT?

17 DECC: UK HEAT STRATEGY The Future of Heating: Meeting the challenge 70% of UK heat comes from natural gas Low penetration of renewable heat in the UK RHI launched Nov % of heating from renewables by TWh hydrogen Circa 18,600 MW Electrolysis DECC: UK HEAT STRATEGY

18 P2G: ELEMENTS OF VALUE Value to the power grid Value to the gas grid Value to the economy Value to the Power Grid Avoided wind curtailment Avoided infrastructure upgrades Reduced reserve power Reduce CO 2 from open cycle GTs Absorbing reactive power Value to the Gas Grid Decarbonising gas Providing renewable heat Reducing GHG emissions from gas transportation Value to the UK Economy Reducing fuel imports Improved energy security Creating jobs in manufacturing P2G: ELEMENTS OF VALUE
