The technical problem to be solved and solved:
Due to the power generated by power plants producing electricity from renewable sources – solar, wind, wave – on the integrated electricity network, power peaks are created on the network due to momentary changes in the weather, which are perceived by consumers as an overvoltage in the sockets.  This deviation exceeding the standard value causes the breakdown of sensitive electrical equipment and causes malfunctions!  This is not allowed!  That is why the network connection of power plants producing electricity from renewable sources is limited!

At the same time, CO2-free electricity is needed! Therefore, the solution is to use the system included in the patent application together with the necessary accessories! Namely: The power peak generated on the integrated electricity network must be removed from the network. We can use this extracted power for the electrolysis of water. This creates H2 and O2. Hydrogen is stored in steel tanks at a pressure of 700 bar. When the system controller of the integrated electricity network requires immediate, peak power, it turns on the valve on the H2 tank, with which the H2 goes to the fuel cell, where direct current is created. After inverting and transforming this, we can lead it to the integrated electricity network.

Previous and currently used technologies, – gas turbine power plant – can put the nominal power on the grid within 15 minutes!

By using the system included in the patent application PCT-HU/W2400003, the peak time current is on the integrated electricity network within 1 minute!

 

Please pay attention!!
Electrolysis with constant input electric power is more than 70 years old technology.  There is no secret in this, there is nothing new.  BUT!  If this sequence of devices is used for variable input power, then hydrogen is created, but with extremely unfavorable values ​​from the point of view of economy and finance!

 

Patent application No. PCT – HU/W2400003 describes and presents the electrolysis process operating with constantly changing input power, which already works in an economical, financially profitable way.
How much power should be adjusted?  100 MVA?  500 MVA?  1500 MVA?  50000 MVA?  The system can be expanded without limits!  Unlimited expansion
  • Real-time power removal from the integrated electricity grid,
  • H2 storage capacity and a
  • feeding peak-time electricity to the integrated electricity network!

All this in such a way that the withdrawal is in real time, and the top-up at peak times is within 1 minute!

The hydrogen produced during electrolysis can live longer than:

  • peak-time electricity on the integrated electricity network,
  • gas in the integrated hydrocarbon transmission,
  • fuel for transportation,
  • chemical raw material, ammonia fertilizer, industrial gas,

 

Further fate of the patent:

More than 157 countries have signed the PCT – Patent Cooperation Treaty – Convention and incorporated it into domestic law. Most of these countries will soon decide on the introduction…..
