The following subjects will be dealt with as part of the project:
• Evaluation of various hydrogen storage technologies
• Development of an electrolysis module in accordance with the selected storage technology
• Mechanical and thermal integration of all components
• Electrical integration and power management
• Operational management of the plant
• Demonstration set-ups and field tests

Aim of the project is the development and testing of a modular fuel cell energy supply system featuring an integrated hydrogen production facility. The hydrogen is to be produced via electrolysis using energy from a discontinuous source (e.g. photovoltaic or irregular electricity network) and to be reconverted to electrical energy on demand. This will facilitate a secure and continuous supply of energy for decentralised/off-grid users without fuel logistics. Areas of deployment will include mobile telecommunications and other applications in information and communication technology (ICT).
