Hydrogen Refueling Station connected directly Wind/PV site

Eurowind is the owner of a largescale onshore wind/PV site, located at Handest Hede, Northern Denmark. Eurowind is currently developing a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) connected directly to the Wind/PV site. The permitting application for electrolysis on site is being developed at this moment.

The technical solutions for HRS are well known, but the direct connection to renewable energy sources creates the necessity for a revised design, based on the needs of the customers, which is the goal of this pilot.

The activities will include the following:

Activity 1: Techno-economic specifications

Specifications of hydrogen pressure, buffer tank size, locations/piping, connection to existing infrastructure, usage of excess heat in district heating.

Activity 2: Stakeholder study

Eurowind and Hydrogen Valley have received multiple requests from local distribution companies, as these are beginning to test hydrogen trucks in their fleet. The need of these stakeholders are key to creating the optimal system design for the HRS.

Activity 3: System integration

Optimal System Design, based on activity 1 and 2 (Wind to Truck),different scenarios can be utilized, as Eurowind is an integral partner of Green Hydrogen Hub Denmark, it will be analyzed whether to connect to the GHH infrastructure or use a closed-loop, “behind the meter” setup – or a combination, based on the delivery of documented green hydrogen following the ISO standard.
