Panasonic has recently completed the installation of a solar-powered hydrogen fuel cell project at its factory located in Cardiff, Wales, in the United Kingdom. The project involves the integration of hydrogen fuel cell generators, PV generators, and storage batteries to power the factory, which specializes in manufacturing microwave ovens and other products. By combining three types of energy sources—pure hydrogen fuel cell generators, photovoltaic generators, and storage batteries—Panasonic aims to efficiently generate and store only the required amount of electricity on-site, enhancing resilience and promoting the use of renewable energy. Additionally, the company plans to establish an energy management system that will track electricity demand changes and weather variations in the UK to provide a stable supply of renewable energy to the factory. The project includes the installation of 21 units of 5 kW pure hydrogen fuel cell generators, along with photovoltaic generators and storage batteries, to enable the operation of the system using 100% renewable energy. Panasonic highlights the benefits of the integrated control of the hydrogen fuel cell generators for improved maintainability and uninterrupted maintenance. The project also focuses on achieving energy efficiency and decarbonization, utilizing green hydrogen produced in the UK. The company aims to showcase this initiative to foster partnerships, drive innovation, and contribute to the development of the UK's hydrogen-related industry. Through cogeneration, the heat generated during electricity production will be utilized for heating and hot water in the factory, with a target energy efficiency of 95% for the fuel cell generators. Furthermore, the excess electricity generated from the 760kW solar power system installed on the factory roof will be stored in newly installed batteries, emphasizing sustainability and technological advancement.
