Energy storage options to integrate renewables Pumped Hydro Heat Hydrogen Batteries Compressed Air 7
Wind-Hydrogen renewable electricity electrolysis storage (optional) utilization Zentrale Großspeicher: Wasserstoff Feed into natural gas grid 2.) station Brennstoffzelle Fuel for transportation 8 Advantages: Kompressor Wasserstoff mit Kavernenspeichern 1.) salt dome cavern storage GuD-Kraftwerk derzeit noch Zumischung von Erdgas erforderlich Vorteile: hohe spezifische Speicherkapazität kostengünstiges Speichervolumen Option to store large amounts of energy high storage capacity Different value chains for hydrogen Almost no site restrictions Challenges: Nachteil: Wirkungsgrad der gesamten Kette: derzeit ca. 30 % zukünftig ca. 40 % erreichbar Core component electrolysis needs to be further developed For power generation the overall efficiency is weak Business cases need to be developed cavern Industrial feedstock Power Generation Source: LBST
Grid connection offshore Until 2030 about 20000 MW of capacity from wind parks will have to be connected to the grid Grid connection most likely to happen only on a few spots Diele Brunsbüttel 9
Hydrogen Storage Hybrid Power Plant Enertrag, Vattenfall, Total are developing a wind-hydrogen hybrid power plant Wind farm with direct coupling to electrolyzer Hydrogen storage Utilization of hydrogen in small scale CHP and for external use 10
Refueling infrastructure: Vattenfall builds largest European hydrogen station in Hamburg HafenCity 11 Lighthouse project of the Clean Energy Partnership consortium - broad initiative of the industry to develop the market entry of hydrogen / fuel cell, supported by the German government Production and delivery of hydrogen to busses and passenger vehicles Grand opening February 17 th 2012 On site production of hydrogen with electrolysis (50%) Alkaline - From 2011 250 kg hydrogen per day - From 2013 500+ kg hydrogen per day From 2011 Hamburger Hochbahn will extend the Daimler fuel cell bus fleet (7 busses until 2013 with ramp up after 2013) Daimler will deliver up to 500 fuel cell vehicles until 2015, currently 10+
Conclusions Strongly increasing share of renewables in most European countries wind and solar power will play a major role volatile power feed in The present electricity supply system was not built to cope with large amounts of volatile renewables Different countermeasures are possible, but there is no silver bullet Storage is one option to integrate more renewables in our system Cost of and business case of storage depends on - Spread in power prices / arbitrage / balancing power - use case (short term / long term) - Local conditions can more cost effective alternatives be applied? - Regulations - today often are not very favorable for storage New storage systems, e.g. hydrogen will be required but need to be further developed regarding cost, technology, reliability 12
