Technological centre for research of renewable resources and accumulation of electric power

This paper describes the technological centre for research of renewable resources and accumulation of electric power that forms a part of the scheme ENET - Energy Units for Utilization of Non-Traditional Energy Sources. The centre will operate several systems for production and accumulation of electric power. One of them is a pyrolyzing unit for generation of gas from solid waste materials, which will be used further as fuel for engine driving the synchronous generator. Another source of power comprises photovoltaic panels installed on the building roof. Accumulation of electric power supplied by these sources is ensured by the power storage bank and hydrogen technology using electric power for generation of hydrogen by means of water electrolysis, storage of such hydrogen in pressure vessels and its re-use for production of electric power in fuel cells. All the power produced or accumulated can be used to cover the internal consumption of technological centre as well as for supply into the public low voltage distribution grid.
