Designing a sustainable hydrogen energy economy
A general vision of a sustainable energy economy relying substantially on hydrogen produced from renewables is sketched as a potential solution to the twin global crises of climate change and depleting oil reserves. Core differences between this 'sustainable hydrogen economy' (SHE) and the original hydrogen economy (HE) proposed in the early 1970s are discussed. In transport, rather than posing a ...

Increasing of the quality of energy from stochastic fluctuating sources using dynamic power conditioning
The stochastic fluctuating offer of wind energy limits the capacity of supply in electrical grids for technical and economical reasons. To increase the supply, a concept of dynamic conditioning with the objective of increasing the quality of supply was developed. The concept envisages supporting and managing the electrical grid, respectively by compensating of active and reactive power with ...
