NOT TO BE MISSED
Session A4: The Place of Commercial Marine Energy in a Smart, Flexible System
The energy system is changing fundamentally – with increasingly flexible networks, a changing role for large utilities and generators building their investment case on stacking flexibility services. Join us to discuss where this new world is heading and what it could mean for the future of commercial tidal and wave energy.
Jon Clipsham: ‘Integrating Hydrogen Electrolysers with Tidal Energy Systems’
Orkney has an abundance of renewably produced electricity however the current grid is already constrained, restricting the progress of new wind, tidal and wave energy projects. Therefore, innovative projects are being developed to use Orkney’s energy in different ways. EMEC has invested in an electrolyser to convert tidal and wind power to hydrogen which can subsequently be used directly as a fuel or chemical feedstock, or in combination with a fuel cell to generate electricity. The integration of renewable energy with the manufacture of an explosive, and potentially dangerous chemical has meant a culture shift within the organisation, which has had to embrace new technologies and methodologies from a different sector. EMEC is the first organisation to produce hydrogen from tidal energy.
