High Density Hydrogen Storage
> Lecture > Author • Document > Date DLR.de • Chart 10
fluctuating renewable energy sources
storage in form of hydrogen:
surplus electricity
electrolysis storage fuel cell meet of energy demand H2 H2
• high volumetric storage density • safe: low pressure moderate temperature • low-maintainance • simple construction
[Acta S.p.A., “Electrolysör Datenblatt EL250-500-1000”]
High Density Hydrogen Storage
> Lecture > Author • Document > Date DLR.de • Chart 12
• composite diameter: 21mm
• vantilator cooling (1.7 Wel)
• charging with electrolysis at 30bar
• discharging with mass flow to
feed FC with Pel = 0.6 kW for 100min
→ upscalable
First Measurement Results – Absorption
> Lecture > Author • Document > Date DLR.de • Chart 13
fully charged in 2h below 30 bar
First Measurement Results – Desorption
> Lecture > Author • Document > Date DLR.de • Chart 14
provides hydrogen for FC for more than 100min
Storage meets requirements
• H2-storage in metal hydrides
• long-term cycle stable composites with high thermal conductivity
• Development of simple and safe storage for domestic application
• High diamerter (21mm) with only ventilator cooling
• Charchable below 30bar (electrolysis)
• Discharable to run FC with 0.6 kW for 100min
(power and time are upscalable)
