Oral presentation

The storage of renewable energy is the greatest challange for the transition from the fossil aera to a sustainable future energy economy. Hydrogen produced from renewable energy leads to a closed cycle, because the water relesed from the combustion condenses in the atmosphere. The challange in the large scale application of H2 is the storage with a high gravimetric and volumetric density....

Oral presentation

As the percentage of the traditional electrical grid power supplied by renewable sources such as wind and solar energy grows, energy storage solutions are required in order to maintain stable grid performance. These solutions have to provide both generation capacity for periods of low renewable generation or peak demand, and storage capacity for peak periods such as high wind periods and...
