Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is focusing on wind power as a cornerstone of the green hydrogen revolution. Despite current cost challenges, ambitious projects like the Renewable Hydrogen Demonstrator aim to lower expenses while showcasing the efficiency of hybrid generation systems. The project's goal is to establish a pioneering full-scale wind-to-X demonstrator and develop a wind plant controller to manage the integrated setup. By combining an electrolyzer, battery storage, and an innovative control system on an existing post-subsidy onshore wind farm, the project will harness wind energy for green hydrogen and electricity production, simultaneously providing grid services.
The Renewable Hydrogen Demonstrator aims to highlight the potential of both existing and new wind farms to contribute as hydrogen suppliers and grid service providers. This diversification strategy is expected to increase revenue and bolster the overall renewable energy share. Deployed at the Kragerup Gods onshore wind park in Denmark, the demonstrator is designed to generate approximately 15 GWh per year and 700-900 tons of hydrogen per year, all while delivering grid services.
The project runs from April 2022 to December 2023, with a budget of 11.9 million euros supported by the EU Regional Development Fund and managed by the Danish Board of Business Development.
