Day Two of Green Hydrogen Forum Focuses on Diverse Hydrogen Carriers and Integrated Energy Concepts

The second day of the Green Hydrogen Forum, integrated into EES, has commenced with a session focused on hydrogen carriers, transport, storage, and energy buffers. The forum discusses various forms of hydrogen carriers such as ammonia and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), both favored for their ability to store and release hydrogen without emitting CO2. Additionally, the concept of using caverns for storing gaseous hydrogen is explored. The discussion highlights that there isn't a clear consensus globally on the optimal energy carrier; multiple solutions are likely required. Current global energy systems heavily rely on fossil fuels—with electricity potentially constituting 25% while gas, oil, and coal each represent another 25%. Consequently, future energy systems will need at least four distinct types of carriers. During this session's opening presentation by Tobias Buklavic from Green Energy Park focuses on an ambitious project to import hydropower-produced ammonia from Brazil to Europe—a significant initiative in green energy transport.

It is foreseeable, hydrogen and its derivatives will be shipped to Europe in the years to come and prompt the path of the energy carrier. What form will play what role amongst to option on the table? It still looks like an open race.

While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
