GP JOULE Highlights Hydrogen's Role in Renewable Energy with Innovative Smart Control Gas Trailers

The presentation discusses GP JOULE, a company dedicated to renewable energy. They have been in operation for 15 years, with nearly 1,000 employees and around 150 renewable energy projects completed. GP JOULE's commitment spans across various facets of the energy sector including electricity generation from wind, solar and biomass; conversion through electrolysis and heat pumps; distribution via electrical grids and hydrogen systems. A significant focus is on hydrogen as an essential part of future power systems due to its potential in addressing excess production capacity resulting from ambitious renewable installation goals (560 gigawatts by 2040). The challenge lies in producing hydrogen at optimal times and locations since current infrastructure involves transporting it via gas trailers rather than fixed pipelines or grids. To address this logistical issue, GP JOULE developed smart control systems for green hydrogen ecosystems which involve using PLC-equipped gas trailers that monitor pressure, temperature, state, and location. This system enhances operational efficiency by enabling better use of residual quantities in storage sections thus reducing trips needed for refueling stations. Implemented initially in Bremerhaven with promising results—supporting local buses while selling excess marketable hydrogen—the solution showcases optimized autonomous operations ensuring safety during transportation. Key features include easy interface connectors measuring between 200-500 bar off-tack pressures alongside standard utilities like compressed air valves integration into emergency circuits coupled with optional OPC data connectivity allowing external application management enhancing overall functionality further affirming their innovative edge within clean energy logistics solutions.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
