Task 24 Wind Energy and Hydrogen Integration 20-21 April Madrid Mr. Ismael Aso Industrial Engineer (Saragossa University) European Master in Renewable Energies (CIRCE) PhD Renewable Energies and Energetic Efficiency (Saragossa University) R & D Aragon Hydrogen Foundation (SPAIN) 1
INDEX Task 24 Description Objectives Prior Steps Members Case Studies Interest in Spain related to Wind/Hydrogen Aragon Hydrogen Foundation Activities 2
OBJECTIVES TASK 24: To explore in detail all possible issues (Technical, Economical, Social, Environmental, Market and Legal) related to hydrogen production using electrolysis with wind energy. To explore in detail possible applications for hydrogen produced by electrolysis using wind energy, with special emphasis on full wind & hydrogen integration by means of hydrogen storage and electrical conversion that balances the original wind energy production, allowing an approach to demand that closes the gap with conventional energies. Subtask A: State of the art Subtask B: Needed improvements and system integration Subtask C: Business concept development Subtask D: Applications. Emphasis on wind energy management Duration : 2006-2010 3
PRIOR STEPS 53 rd IEA HIA ExCo meeting (Singapore, November 2005): The interest on starting a new task on wind energy & hydrogen integration is endorsed by the ExCo. The Spanish representative takes the lead. 54 th IEA HIA ExCo meeting (Lyon, June 2006): Dr. Luis Correas (Fundación Hidrógeno Aragón) and Mr. Fernando Tamayo (Gamesa Energía), presented a first draft of the new task. Project Definition Meeting (Brussels, 4th October 2006): attendance of 15 people from 7 countries. A revised draft has been released, with a matured work plan proposal. Pending confirmation of participation, especially from electrolyser manufacturers. 55 th IEA HIA ExCo meeting (Petten, November 2006): the Task is finally approved by the ExCo, and a kickoff meeting was made for spring 2007 Huesca, in order to confirm participation. 56 th IEA HIA EXCo Meeting (Rapperswill, May 2007): First SAR showed and first Meeting, First Meeting Canary Island October 2007 57 th IEA ExCo Meeting (Montecatini, November 2007): First annual report. Second Meeting Athens 58 th IEA ExCo Meeting (Brisbane, July 2008): Oral presentation WHEC 59 th IEA ExCo Meeting (Athens, October 2008): Third meeting in Switzerland 4

Why so Interest in Spain???? P.O. 3.7: Programming of non-dispatchable renewable energy. The Operator of the Electrical System can reduce (curtail) the wind energy produced on behalf of the stability of the grid No correlation between wind power and consumptions Wind Power gradient +/- 1.000 MW 11
