Goal
|
Demonstrating a linkage between wind power and vehicle refuelling.
|
|
Description
|
Recognizing the challenge presented by the intermittency and varying outputs of wind power, an important element of the project is the development of various control schemes by which the electrolyser can interface with the electrical output of wind turbines to optimise fuel production.
The station is one of the first United States-based hydrogen filling stations to use electricity from a wind power resource to produce hydrogen from water , in this case using electricity generated by wind resources either owned or contracted by Basin Electric.
