Abstract

In Neunburg vorm Wald, eastern Bavaria, Germany, an industrial-sized solar hydrogen demonstration plant has been set up, and this plant is of some importance in the world of renewable energy. In the course of the long-term project, mainly prototype components of a possible future energy economy based on hydrogen as an energy medium are tested in their performance and interaction. The overall plant consists of photovoltaic generators, electric power conditioning, water electrolysers, gas treatment and storage units, as well as an LH 2-filling station and other application technologies like heating boilers, a catalytically operated heater/refrigerator and fuel cell plants. The present paper, as of July 1993, is a report on the realization of the first project phase, the operating experience, and also elaborates on the planning status of the current second project phase.
