FlexHyX - Flexibility options of production and usage of renewable hydrogen via decentralized metal hydride tanks and their integration in gas grids

In this project metal hydride tanks and further necessary components (electrolyzer, fuel cell, battery) are investigated by experimenting and simulating. This is combined with knowledge in the field of grid simulation, which already exists at H-BRS, for a demand-actuated design and operation of decentralized storage units. In particular the focus is on coupling of electric and gas grids in order to grant flexible energy supply. Several model scenarios are considered (see figure), whereat every scenario uses realistic and dynamic data (supply profiles, several consumers, weather-related PV variation).
