The hottest Siemens will solve the problem of wind

Siemens will solve the problem of wind power storage through electric energy to gas technology

Guide: since power cannot be stored on a large scale, wind farms are at a disadvantage from a commercial point of view, and the converted hydrogen can be stored through gas supply. Therefore, Siemens plans to introduce a plan to convert wind power into gas by 2015. To cope with the current situation of the industry downturn of oversupply

on the morning of March 14, Beijing time, Siemens plans to introduce a plan to convert wind power into gas before 2015, creating a new revenue source for wind farms. 6 Support Lystem lab data sharing system to cope with the current situation of the industry downturn of oversupply

according to Bloomberg, Michael Weinhold, chief technology officer of Siemens' energy department, said that the electrolyzer used to convert electric energy into hydrogen storage is the size of a football field and is currently in the testing stage. This technology is expected to solve the problem of power output fluctuation of wind farms, especially in the period of low demand at night

Siemens invests 1 billion euros (1.3 billion US dollars) every year in the research and development of new technologies in the energy field. Since electricity cannot be stored on a large scale, wind farms are disadvantageous from a commercial point of view, which is inseparable from the national promotion of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and the converted hydrogen can be stored through gas supply

Weinhold said: the main problem at present is the mismatch between the output of renewable resources and the demand. If we can solve this problem, there will be business to do

Germany provides subsidies for renewable energy, but there is no subsidy when the supply exceeds the demand. Occasionally, the price of the European energy exchange even turns negative, which means that the output released by the wind farm still needs to lose money. Germany's offshore wind power input is about 500 MW, and the country plans to increase this scale to 10000 MW by 2020 to minimize the application of nuclear energy

this kind of experimental machine is the "ancestor" of the experimental machine family. Wienhold said that this technology may be welcomed by power enterprises and financial investors, who hope to profit from the fluctuation of electricity prices. For Siemens, this is one of the ways to increase revenue by 40% through energy equipment. Due to the failure to connect offshore wind farms and power transmission on time, Siemens made a provision of 2.0 for its power transmission department in the fourth quarter of last year, and it is the most difficult to master the mold temperature at the time of short-term mold trial and future mass production, with a write down of 300million euros

he said: if more and more renewable energy is imported, and then the electricity price is reduced during the peak supply period, as we predicted this year, we believe that this technology is economically feasible. We are currently testing this technology with our customers, and the time to put it into business is just around the corner
