Indian state-run power company NTPC has awarded project involving a standalone fuel-cell based microgrid energy system that includes hydrogen production using an electrolyser in Andhra Pradesh on India's east coast. This would be India's first green hydrogen-based energy storage project and a precursor to large-scale hydrogen energy storage projects. The project will be located at the NTPC Guest House in Simhadri, near Visakhapatnam. The hydrogen would be produced using the advanced 240kW solid oxide electrolyser by taking input power from the nearby floating solar project. The hydrogen produced during sunshine hours would be stored at high pressure and would be electrified using a 50kW solid oxide fuel cell. The system would work in a standalone mode from 5pm to 7am."
