“Smart Grid Solar” in bavaria
base for sustainible know-how
In the Arzberg pilot project, the company has installed a complete system solution for storing energy. An electrolyzer converts the electricity of a solar park into hydrogen, a fuel cell takes over the reconversion. Both components demonstrate their industrial applicability. In addition, Covalion is using the project for a first practical test of the innovative LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier) technology: The hydrogen is here added to a carrier liquid for better storing properties. The company also draws back on its decades of experience in the construction of large-scale power plants and the associated skills and resources. It is therefore predestined both as a reliable component supplier and as a system integrator for projects. Covalion technically ensures the interaction of the individual components of a complete system and coordinates several project partners.
