<p>With the Future program hydrogen BW funding program, the state of Baden-Württemberg supports the development of sustainable hydrogen economy in the south-west. The funded measures also include the HydrogREenBoost project, in which the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Ulm University of Applied Sciences THU, TransnetBW and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg ZSW are involved. In this project, experts from science and industry have joined forces to research the use of hydrogen that has a positive effect on the stability of the power grid that is beneficial to the grid. The goal of the joint research is to develop large-scale technical options for the use of green hydrogen. Hydrogen is only green if electricity from renewable energies was used to generate it.</p><p>The hydrogen project is to be based on a grid booster concept in which battery storage increases grid stability. The results of a preliminary study by the THU on behalf of TransnetBW suggest that this principle has great potential for grid stabilization. In this context, various potential applications of hydrogen for power grid operation were examined at TransnetBW.</p><p>Experts from KIT, THU, TransnetBW and ZSW have now jointly designed a research project with three phases: In the first phase, a network laboratory will be set up. The interaction of the technical sub-components is tested in the laboratory format and made tangible. In the second phase, the usefulness of the network is modeled. Electricity load flows are calculated and different locations are analyzed for the grid booster. In the third and last phase, an implementation concept for the large-scale use of a concrete, large-scale hydrogen project in Baden-Württemberg will be drawn up.
