Abstract

The energy demand in remote rural areas can be satisfied in a competitive manner with the use of renewable energy sources. In the framework of the EU LIFE+ program, this demonstration project (Profitable Small Scale Renewable Energy Systems in Agrifood Industry and Rural Areas: Demonstration in the Wine Sector) proposes a feasible alternative for long period storage, using hydrogen as an energy vector. In the present case, part of the energy required by Viñas del Vero S.A., a winery in Barbastro, Spain, will be supplied by the production from a photovoltaic panel array.
The general idea is to hydrolyze on-site available water using the exceeding electrical energy, and to store the generated hydrogen in pressurized tanks. In this project, the end-user consists of a PEM fuel cell system that re-converts the hydrogen to electric current.
