GKN Hydrogen has recently launched an innovative emergency power supply system in Italy, specifically in Ratsberg, South Tyrol. The system is designed to run for an impressive 96 hours using hydrogen storage technology. The CO2-free communication tower, installed for the Civil Protection Agency, will provide a continuous electrical output of 10kW. The hydrogen utilized in this project is produced through grid electricity and electrolysis, with the unique approach of storing it 'almost loss-free' as a solid in metal powder for extended periods. When required, a built-in fuel cell converts the stored hydrogen back into electricity to power the communication facility. The choice of GKN’s solution by the client highlights the importance of maintaining communication for public institutions, especially during weather-related power outages, to ensure uninterrupted safety. This project showcases the potential of hydrogen as a reliable and sustainable energy source in emergency situations, contributing to a greener and more resilient energy infrastructure.
